regarding external tibias

Edit Post

when the pins are placed on the tibias to install the fixators, does the position of the pins need to be precisely calculated or it can be flexible.

I know the surgeon avoids the nerves but even after that there are still alot of places to choose from as his choice to place the pins through the soft tissue. Does the position of drilling those pins precisely down to the millimeters effects the recovery or is it all the same in the end as long as nerves are avoided and frame is stable and bone growth is good.

So u mean the pin points can be flexible. Also u said both legs have different pin points. Thats strange as it should be almost identical. I dont know much about tht tho. I think they dont mark with a marker before drilling. I think they should.

thanks that was helpful. So I suppose its all good as long as no nerve is damaged. Anywhere the surgeon places the pins will be fine as long as it can support the weight of the body.
