The elbow joint External Fixator is suitable for flexion elbow stiffness,post-traumatic elbow flexion and extension disorder combined with myositis ossificans,etc.
The occurrence of elbow joint movement disorders and perielbow myositis ossificans caused by fractures around the elbow is common in clinical practice.Functional rehabilitation exercises or traditional surgical joint release,or even resection of ossificans myositis ossificans, often end in failure,and even lead to aggravation of the disease.According to the principle of llizarov's technique,the circular peripheral fixed elbow traction frame is used to treat elbow flexion and extension disorder combined with myositis ossificans.The appearance and function of the elbow joint are satisfactory after operation,and the ossified mass formed by myositis ossificans is partially absorbed.

Medical tips
Open elbow arthrolysis is the most commonly reported method for the treatment of traumatic elbow stiffness (TES). However, for severe and extremely severe TES patients, due to the need to clean up a large number of calcified ligaments and joint capsule during the operation, it will lead to postoperative elbow instability, and ligament repair alone is not enough to maintain the stability of the elbow. Hinged external fixation can enhance the stability of the elbow joint.
The stability of circumferential orthopedic external fixation is better than that of unilateral external fixation. Open elbow arthrolysis combined with circumferential ex fix of the elbow joint can effectively improve the flexion and extension and rotation function of the elbow joint in patients with severe and extremely severe TES, with fewer complications and reliable curative effect.
