Comparison of the mechanical performance of different frame configurations of the Ilizarov fixator

Abstract

The circular frame of Ilizarov fixator could be modified due to anatomical variations and treatment aims. But these modifications in the frame system cannot always obtain the mechanical performance of the standard frame system. A standard system has two rings in each bone fragment which are connected by four longitudinal bars on each side of the ring. In this study, mechanical performance of one standard and eight modified frame systems were compared. Each system was loaded on a Material Testing Machine with axial compression, four point bending and torsion, and overall stiffness were tested. As a result, systems that were modified with drop wires and Schanz screws 45¡ oblique to the wires on the proximal ring, provided a closer mechanical performance to standard system.
