Connecting Rod 4mm X 250mm Orthopedic Ilizarov External Fixator Stainless Steel

A connecting rod with dimensions of 4mm x 250mm in an orthopedic Ilizarov external fixator made of stainless steel is a significant component used in orthopedic procedures for bone fixation and alignment.

As previously mentioned, the Ilizarov external fixator system consists of various components including rings, wires, pins, and connecting rods. These are utilized to stabilize fractured bones, correct deformities, or aid in bone healing.

The dimensions 4mm x 250mm refer to the diameter and length of the connecting rod respectively. This rod is made of stainless steel for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility.

During the surgical procedure, the connecting rod serves to connect the rings or other components of the fixator system. By doing so, it helps create a stable frame around the affected bone, providing support and facilitating proper alignment for healing.

Orthopedic surgeons commonly use Ilizarov external fixators in complex orthopedic cases where traditional methods may not be suitable. These fixators allow for adjustments over time, enabling gradual bone lengthening or realignment as needed for optimal recovery and functionality.
