Abstract

Two cases of ipsilateral open fracture of the femur and tibia treated using the dynamic ASIF-BM tubular external fixator are described. Results were very good, with short periods of occupational disability. These cases support primary stable osteosynthesis of these simultaneous fractures and the value of dynamic axial external fixation as a definitive treatment of open fractures of the femur and tibia shaft, either isolated or simultaneous.
