An external fixator set is a medical device used to stabilize and immobilize fractures or deformities of the bones from outside the body. It consists of a series of rods, clamps, and pins that are attached to the bone through the skin, providing support while allowing for some degree of movement. Typically made from biocompatible materials such as stainless steel or titanium, these devices are designed for durability and ease of use in surgical settings. They are commonly used in orthopedic surgeries to treat complex fractures, limb lengthening, and to correct bone deformities.
