An external fixator is just what is sounds like. It’s metal pins that go into the bone and stick off the skin, and are held together by special clips and some carbon fiber bars. To avoid infections it’s best to keep the pin sites clean, and avoid going into dirty water where lots of pathogens can get into the pinsites and cause bad infections that can go down to the bone and cause lots of problems! . . . #Orthopaedics #residencylife #meded #medicaleducation #externalfixator #exfix #ortho | Dr. D
