Connecting Rod 4mm X 300mm Orthopedic Ilizarov External Fixator Stainless Steel

A connecting rod with dimensions of 4mm x 300mm in an orthopedic Ilizarov external fixator made of stainless steel is a vital component used in orthopedic surgeries for bone fixation and alignment.

As part of the Ilizarov external fixator system, which includes rings, wires, pins, and connecting rods, this rod plays a crucial role in stabilizing fractured bones, correcting deformities, or aiding in bone healing.

The dimensions 4mm x 300mm indicate the diameter and length of the connecting rod, respectively. Stainless steel is chosen for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility with the human body.

During the surgical procedure, the connecting rod is used to link the rings or other components of the fixator system, creating a stable frame around the affected bone. This stability supports proper alignment and provides the necessary support for the bone to heal correctly.

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