9. ESF FRAMES LINEAR CIRCULAR HYBRID

10. Equipment ESF 3 BASIC UNITS FIXATION PINS EXTERNAL CONNECTORS LINKAGE DEVICES Inserted into bone To hold major Fragments Support fractured Bones Attach fixation Pins & external Connectors

14. Positive profile transfixation pins used in ESF

17. SK double clamp Secur-U clamp S K single clamp Kirschner double clamp Kirschner single clamp Kirschner type linkage devices for joining fixation Pins to external connecting bars & external connecting bars to each other.Note the larger holes for the external connecting bars & smaller holes in the bolts for Fixation pins Linkage devices

24. Tie –in configuration

33. Standard circular fixator frame for fracture management

34. Bones can be lengthened by streching a corticotomy 1mm a day The regenerate is composed of Microcolumns originating from both bone ends Radiograph of distraction Callus at 3 wks

35. Regenerated bone appears in the trailing pathway of a distracted bone segment in the dog treated with bone resection & distraction osteogenesis

39. Olive wires

43. Wire tensioner

45. Larger transfixation wires can be combined with the use of rings & wires in a Hybrid frame
