Medicine:Fixation (surgical)

From HandWiki

Fixation in orthopedics is the process by which an injury is rendered immobile.[1] This may be accomplished by internal fixation, using intramedullary rod, Kirschner wire or dynamic compression plate; or by external fixation, using a spanning external fixator, Taylor Spatial Frame or Ilizarov apparatus.[citation needed]
