External Fixation of a Kite’s broken wing done at Jivdaya Charitable Trust

October 12, 2014

The kite that was having complete fracture of right radius-ulna  was got to Jivdaya Charitable Trust’s Hospital were the doctor”s decided to go in for external fixation to repair the fracture.

This fracture repair technique was chosen by our doctor at Jivdaya as it preserves joint mobility and soft tissues. The fracture heals completely in the minimum time of  a month. There is no need to apply wing bandage to this fixaction technique. This leads to a very speedy recovery to the kite and this method is therefore used to heal other fracture cases as well.
