Resumen (ES)
We report our experience in the treatment of fractures
and its consequences with the Hoffmann II external
fixator. We have operated on 34 patients. In 44% of cases
there were open fractures, in 44% closed fractures, and the
remaining cases were non-unions. The average follow-up
was 14 months (range: 12-18). In 85% of cases, we used the
external fixator as a definitive treatment, and in the remaining
as a temporary treatment, until the patient or injury conditions
improved and it could be applied a definitive treatment. The
average union time was 21 weeks (range: 6-27) and there
were not cases of non-union or nerve or vessel injuries. The
obtained results with this external fixator are satisfactory,
being its application versatile and easy, therefore we recommend
its use in the treatment of fractures.
