External fixators
The fixator is attached to the bone with Schanz screws, which are connected to a force carrier by so-called clamps. The screws protrude outward through the skin, allowing the force carrier to remain outside the soft tissues. This procedure is used, for example, in open fractures or in the primary treatment of patients with polytrauma.
