External fixation is an effective method of stabilizing many fractures in veterinary orthopedics, however, it is not foolproof. Although careful attention to the principles of fixator selection and application is the optimal way to minimize complications, they do still occur. Prompt recognition of these complications and appropriate treatment, however, will minimize their effects and result in the successful outcome of fracture healing and normal limb function.
外固定是兽医骨科中稳定多种骨折的有效方法，然而，它并非万无一失。尽管严格遵循固定器选择和应用的原则是将并发症降至最低的最佳方法，但并发症仍会发生。不过，及时识别这些并发症并进行恰当治疗，将把它们的影响降至最低，从而实现骨折愈合及肢体功能恢复正常的成功结果。
