A prospective study on usefulness of ankle spanning uniaxial external fixator in inta articular fractures of distal tibia

Intra articular fractures of distal tibia often benefit from uniaxial ankle spanning external fixation, both as a permanent measure and temporary measure prior to definitive fixation. Uniplanar ankle spanning external fixator placement is a safe and reliable technique for achieving fracture reduction and stability while awaiting definitive fixation. It is an versatile tool in achieving fracture union as permanent procedure.
