Connecting Rod 8mm X 400mm Orthopedic Ilizarov External Fixator Stainless Steel

A connecting rod with dimensions of 8mm x 400mm in an orthopedic Ilizarov external fixator made of stainless steel is a significant component used in orthopedic surgeries for bone fixation and alignment.

In 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 8mm x 400mm specify the diameter and length of the connecting rod, respectively. Stainless steel is chosen for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility with the human body.

During surgery, the connecting rod is used to connect 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 commonly utilize Ilizarov external fixators in various orthopedic procedures, particularly in complex cases where traditional methods may be insufficient. These fixators allow for adjustments over time, facilitating gradual bone lengthening or realignment for optimal recovery and functionality.
