“…Any change in mounting parameters or osteotomy patterns directly influences the biomechanical conditions at the defect site [23,24]. The effects on frame stiffness of various mounting parameters (e.g., ring size, wire/half-pin diameter, number of wires/half-pins/rings) have been analyzed previously [6,12,23,25]. Therefore, the two frames were mounted as they are used in clinical practice with the wires and half-pins positioned with respect to the anatomic constraints of the tibia.…”

“…The biomechanical principle of the Ilizarov external fixator relies on axial compressive loads and micromotions that occur on weight loading [4, 5, 11]. Ilizarov and other authors recommend mobilisation of the patients with full weight bearing when treated with the Ilizarov external fixator [15–17], and the beneficial effects have been shown in vivo during distraction osteogenesis [18].…”

“…Finally, as has been noted throughout previous Ilizarov work, the precise interaction between wire pretension loss, non-90-90 wire positioning, and bolt torque has not been defined (Renard et al, 2005;Vijayakumar et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2003). The effect of wire plastic deformation, wire slippage, frame deformation, and the simple choice between slotted versus cannulated wire fixation bolts are still areas of study (Aronson and Harp, 1991;Davidson et al, 2003;Zhang, 2004).…”
