The effect of bending stiffness of external fixators on the early healing of transverse tibial osteotomies was studied in a canine model to determine whether there is a particular range of fixation stiffness where healing is poor. Five unilateral fixators with different stiffnesses were developed an
Fracture site axial rigidity was monitored nondestructively at weekly intervals during healing of tibia1 osteotomies in adult rabbits. Two groups of 20 rabbits each were treated with external fixators of two different rigidities. Four animals from each group were killed at 3, 5 , 6, 7, and 8 weeks t
