The mechanical test as a supplemental decision support tool for the safe removal of an Ilizarov circular external fixator by Yulin Xu, Jialin Liu, Jinghong Yang, Tao Zhang, Zhong Li, Yanshi Liu

“…Conclusions Adequate assessment of bone regenerate is crucial before removing an external fixator to prevent deformation or refracture. The axial load–share ratio in vivo is a practically quantitative method to supplement radiography and clinical experience for the assessment of regenerate healing, and the axial load–share ratio dropped below 10% is a safe limit for the Ilizarov circular external fixator removal.…”
