Problems and solutions of using monorail external fixation in the femur

Placement of the external fixator in the femur is limited because of the presence of the opposite thigh. The conventional fixator is not strong enough to resist the strong deforming forces in the thigh. The circular fixator, although stable, is bulky and interferes with daily activities such as sitt...
