Wagner's technique of external fixation was originally developed for limb-lengthening procedures. With its one-dimensional configuration and great stability, however, it is also highly suitable for application to the upper extremity and thigh for other purposes and several alternative applications are described. The more important indications are infected defect-pseudarthroses of the femur, temporary immobilization of the knee-joint, and 'unmanageable' fractures of the distal radius.
瓦格纳外固定技术最初是为肢体延长手术而开发的。然而，由于其一维结构和高度稳定性，它也非常适合用于上肢和大腿的其他用途，本文描述了几种替代应用。更重要的适应症包括股骨感染性骨缺损假关节、膝关节的临时固定以及桡骨远端“难以处理”的骨折。
