The FITBONE^® method offers a synergy of the following features:

• Minimize risk of infection
• Minimize pain
• User-friendly, permanently monitored process
• Good cosmetic result
• Reduced scar tissue formation
• Time-saving through simultaneous lengthening option
• Short hospitalization
• Early re-integration

Compared to FITBONE^®, external fixation systems: ring-,  monolateral-, bilateral- and hexapode have the following disadvantages:

• High risk of infection
• Through the pin tracts, infectious processes can dangerously affect the bone
• Pin tract infections lead to additional surgeries for the exchange of pins and fasteners
• Mis-alignement of the bone segments due to flexible deformation of the fixation device is very common
• Long hospitalization
• Extremely painful
• Restricted movement
• Many scars
