Fixators, used in orthopedic surgery, are devices that stabilize and hold bone fragments in place, promoting bone healing and repair. They are typically employed in treating bone fractures, deformities, and other conditions that require bone alignment or reduction. Fixators come in various types, including external fixators, internal fixators, and intramedullary nails, each designed for specific surgical needs and bone anatomy. By providing rigid support and controlled alignment, fixators facilitate the natural bone healing process and restore bone function and stability.
