Introduction

Our unit has extensive experience with the use of Ilizarov circular frames for acute fracture and nonunion surgery. We have observed and analysed fracture healing patterns which question the role of relative stability in fracture healing and we offer limb mechanical axis restoration as a more important determinant.

Aim

To assess for the presence of external callus, when only relative stability has been achieved but with anatomical restoration of the mechanical axis (ARMA).
