Abstract
The Ilizarov external fixator exhibits more isotropic mechanical properties in bending and nonlinear axial stiffness than do unilateral and bilateral external fixators. Each frame element--wire size, tension, and orientation, as well as ring type--contributes to overall frame rigidity and stability. These factors and the specific clinical situation must be considered for the successful application of the Ilizarov fixator.
