External orthopaedic fixation systems are medical devices used to stabilize and support fractured bones externally, aiding proper alignment during healing. These systems typically include frames, rods, pins, and clamps attached to the skin or bone to immobilize fractures of long bones, feet, ankles, or joints while promoting recovery.
These devices are generally classified based on their design and risk level, with regulations varying by country. Single-use systems are intended for one-time application and must comply with medical device standards, often requiring validation for safety and performance before market authorization.
