Extremity fractures frequently occur at the time of spinal cord injury. Fractures immobilized by external fixation devices interfere with patient positioning and predispose to trophic ulcers. The devices also interfere with joint motion. Incorrect application may delay rather than promote fracture union. Patients with spinal cord injuries require appropriate fracture management.
四肢骨折常发生于脊髓损伤时。由外固定装置固定的骨折会干扰患者体位，并易引发营养性溃疡。这些装置还会干扰关节活动。应用不当可能会延迟而非促进骨折愈合。脊髓损伤患者需要适当的骨折处理。
