Static fixation of the fingers by external fixators means external stabilization of a fractured digit or phalanx or preservation of length of the affected segments until bone grafting and bone healing are achieved. During the treatment course, distraction or compression are not applied to the callus. The static fixation does not mean the lack of dynamic influences, it depends on the mechanical characteristics of the device applied. Our mini external stabilizer compared with the former rigid fixators can be considered a semiflexible, and therefore semidynamic, device owing to its metallurgic characteristics, which are proved by the secondary bone healing achieved in our clinical cases.
