Soft Tissue Release Incisions for External Fixation Pins
Fixation pins placed through liberal release incisions in anatomically-positioned, non-devitalized soft tissues will go a long way in reducing pin tract morbidity.
Read moreLinear SK ESF System Basic Application Steps
Using SK components makes frame construction much easier due to the ability to add or subtract clamps at any time and place multiple pin sizes directly through the pin-gripping bolt. In addition, the secondary bolt...

Continued Evolution of ESF Concepts
Design criteria for the SK ESF clamp included the ability to effectively grip a wide range of different pin diameters, capacity to pass positive threaded pins directly through the clamp bolt, ability to add or subtract a pin or clamp...
Read moreContinued Evolution of ESF Pins
As positive-profile pins such as the Interface and Centerface became routinely utilized, increased pin longevity and decreased patient morbidity were attributed to...
Read moreReview of SK ESF Mechanics
The most powerful way to simplify the ESF method lies in mechanical frame improvements that are not dependent on full-pins or complex frame geometries.

The SK ESF Advantage
The goal of the SK ESF System is not to generate ever-increasing frame stiffness, but to achieve clinically appropriate strength while using simple, patient friendly frames.
