Although the exact frame construct chosen is dictated by the soft tissue injury and fracture pattern, basic principles of technique apply to all AO/ASIF Small External Fixator frames.

Reduce the fracture manually with longitudinal traction. Percutaneous fixation or open reduction and internal fixation may be required.
