Product Description
The system features a rapid-connect mechanism that allows bars and clamps to be snapped together instantly, significantly reducing "time-to-fixation" in emergency trauma cases.
Includes heavy-duty 11mm diameter rods that provide the extreme mechanical stiffness required to support the weight and muscle forces of the human thigh and lower leg.
Multi-axial clamps allow pins to be placed independently of the bar's orientation, giving surgeons total freedom to choose the healthiest "safe zones" for pin entry.
Specifically designed for large fragments, the set includes specialized couplings for bar-to-bar and bar-to-pin connections, allowing for reinforced "Delta" frame constructions.
Specifically indicated for high-energy femur breaks where the patient is too unstable for internal nailing. The provides the massive support needed to hold the body's largest bone.
Indicated for severe tibia fractures, especially those with significant skin loss (Gustilo Grade III). The set stabilizes the leg while allowing full access for plastic surgery and wound care.
Indicated for emergency stabilization of "open book" pelvic fractures. The can be configured as an anterior pelvic frame to close the pelvic volume and control internal bleeding.
Indicated for fractures that occur very close to the knee or ankle joints. The system bridges the joint to maintain length and protect the delicate articular surfaces from further damage.

The Hoffmann External Fixation Large Fragment Set is a comprehensive surgical kit used to stabilize the largest bones in the body, like the thigh (femur) and the shin (tibia). When these bones break severely, they need an incredibly strong support system to hold them together while the patient recovers. The set includes thick metal pins that go into the bone and connect to a rigid external frame of rods and clamps. It is the "gold standard" for emergency rooms because it can be put together very quickly, acting as a powerful external skeleton that keeps the leg straight and safe after a major accident.
The primary application of the is for the stabilization of femur and tibia shaft fractures. It is applied to provide immediate rigid support for pelvic ring disruptions in emergency trauma. The set is utilize for the application of bone alignment in Gustilo Grade III open fractures where internal implants are too risky. In clinical practice, the application of 11mm carbon fiber rods is essential for allowing surgeons to take clear X-rays without the metal blocking the view. This system serves as a critical application for "damage control" surgery, providing rapid fixation to stabilize the patient's condition before more complex internal surgeries are performed.
A major advantage of the TOOLMED is its snap-on modularity, which provides a significant advantage by allowing for lightning-fast frame assembly. The 11mm bars offer the critical advantage of extreme bending resistance, a significant advantage for supporting the weight of a human leg. The inclusion of multi-axial clamps provides the advantage of independent pin placement, a critical advantage for avoiding damaged skin or sensitive nerves. Furthermore, the high-quality 316LVM steel components provide the advantage of superior durability, which is a key advantage for long-term stabilization of infected bone cases.
Biomechanically, the is engineered to support the massive axial loads and torsional forces of the lower extremity. It is biomechanically designed to create a "neutralizing bridge" that takes the stress off the fracture site and transfers it to the external rods. By utilizing large-diameter 5.0mm or 6.0mm pins, the frame biomechanically ensures that the bone-to-pin interface can withstand the pull of the body's strongest muscles, like the quadriceps. This biomechanical stability is essential for preventing bone shortening and mal-alignment, ensuring that the leg remains at the correct length during the healing process.
The surgical technique begins with the insertion of Schanz screws into the bone segments above and below the fracture under X-ray guidance. The clamping blocks are then "snapped" onto the pins and connected to the 11mm longitudinal rods. The surgeon performs a "reduction" by pulling the limb to its natural length and aligning the bone fragments. The technique is finalized by tightening the universal joints using a specialized wrench to lock the entire construct into a rigid frame. This minimally invasive technique is vital for preserving the blood supply around the fracture, which is a key part of the technique for ensuring a successful bone union.
Postoperative care for the centers on pin-site management and gradual mobilization. For the facility, it is critical to initiate a strict daily cleaning protocol for the pin sites to prevent deep-track infections. The facility must also provide the patient with clear instructions on "non-weight bearing" or "partial weight bearing" status as determined by the surgeon. Patients are taught to monitor the frame for any loose components and to check the skin around the pins for redness. Regular X-rays are mandatory to ensure the large bone fragments haven't shifted. Proper care ensures the fixator remains secure for the 12 to 24 weeks often required for large-bone healing.
The TOOLMED Hoffmann External Fixation Large Fragment Set is the definitive solution for major orthopedic trauma. By combining extreme mechanical strength with the modular speed required in the emergency room, it ensures that even the most severe femur and tibia fractures are held in perfect alignment, paving the way for a successful recovery of mobility and strength.
While the is made for large bones, we use aircraft-grade aluminum and carbon fiber to keep it as light as possible. However, because it is used for major leg breaks, you will typically need to use crutches or a walker and not put full weight on the leg until your doctor says it's safe.
Yes, that is one of the biggest benefits of the set. If the bone alignment needs a small adjustment, the doctor can loosen a few clamps in the clinic, move the bone slightly, and lock it back down without needing another major surgery.
Most patients wear loose-fitting shorts or wide-leg track pants. Some find it helpful to use pants with side-snaps or buttons, which makes it much easier to dress and undress without catching the frame on the fabric.
Because the pins for the are thicker, daily cleaning is very important. You will be given a sterile solution to clean the sites once or twice a day. Keeping the area dry and avoiding tight clothing that rubs against the pins is the best way to stay infection-free.
It depends on the specific rods used. If your set uses our Carbon Fiber rods, they are generally safer for imaging. However, you must always tell the MRI technician you have an external fixator so they can verify the materials and ensure your safety.
