Abstract: Based on the property of the structural elements of the external skeletal fixator (ESF), the contribution of individual structural elements was studied. 16 cases of complications related to the structure failure of ESF was analyzed. The correct principle and method in use of ESF were provided. The constraint to the bone segment degrees of freedom (DOF) and the optimization to stiffness of the ESF system were emphasized.

Key words: fracture, external fixators, biomechanics
