External hinged distraction devices using transosseous pins and adjustable attachments were applied to mobilize joint contractures; to reduce old dislocations; and to reduce, immobilize, and compress ununited para-articular fractures. Once these procedures were accomplished the devices were then used to maintain the joint surfaces separated at predetermined distances while kinematically normal joint motion was gradually restored, first passively and then actively. The results in thirty-one knees and twenty-eight elbows treated with these devices were encouraging after follow-ups of one to six years.
使用穿骨针和可调节附件的外部铰链式牵引装置被用于松解关节挛缩；复位陈旧性脱位；以及复位、固定和加压关节周围不愈合骨折。一旦完成这些操作，该装置随后用于在预定距离保持关节面分离，同时首先被动地然后主动地逐渐恢复运动学上正常的关节活动。在对使用这些装置治疗的31个膝关节和28个肘关节进行1至6年的随访后，结果令人鼓舞。
