A biomechanical analysis of distraction force in modified hynes-giddins dynamic external fixator

Hynes and Giddins modified the rubber band traction device advocated by Suzuki for management of phalangeal pilon fractures and fracture-dislocations. We present here a modification of the Hynes-Giddins version of this dynamic external fixator, which allows alteration of the distracting force by a s...

Zusammenfassung:	Hynes and Giddins modified the rubber band traction device advocated by Suzuki for management of phalangeal pilon fractures and fracture-dislocations. We present here a modification of the Hynes-Giddins version of this dynamic external fixator, which allows alteration of the distracting force by a simple adjustment of the construct.
