Background

To improve patient pathways we have, in selected patients, begun to acutely apply circular (rather than temporary monolateral) fixators with simultaneous or subsequent soft tissue closure. We present early results.

Methods

Adult patients treated using an Ilizarov frame prior to soft tissue management were identified from our Ilizarov database. This data was supplemented by medical record review.
