Description

In this BoardsCast episode, we bring structure to the world of external skeletal fixation — exploring how frame design, fixation forces, and biological constraints determine outcomes in fracture repair. Whether you're pinning a toy dog radius or managing a segmental tibial gap, knowing how to build (and when to remove) an ESF makes or breaks the result.

You’ll learn:

• The four core ESF frame types and when to use each
• How pin size, number, and placement affect stiffness and strain
• Differences between linear, circular, and hybrid constructs
• Why most failures come from overloading or under-thinking the frame
• Best practices for postop care, frame removal, and avoiding complications
• Case-based planning strategies for the boards and beyond

From fixation theory to pin-site infection, this episode gives you a blueprint to build it right the first time.
