Complications associated with hexapod circular fixation for acute fractures of the tibia diaphysis: A retrospective descriptive study at a high volume trauma centre.

Unlabelled: The use of hexapod circular external fixation in acute tibia fracture care is increasing as more general orthopaedic surgeons are gaining expertise with the use of this treatment modality. Limited data is currently available on the complications that may be encountered with this treatment strategy.

Aim: To review the complications and outcomes of acute diaphyseal tibia fractures definitively treated with hexapod circular external fixation at a high volume orthopaedic trauma centre.
