The External Fixation Ring – 240mm for Tibial/Femur Fractures (2 pcs) is a circular orthopedic fixation component designed for use with compatible external fixation systems in selected fracture management applications. Supplied as a 2-piece set, the rings can serve as structural components within a modular external fixation frame when used with compatible rods, wires, pins, connectors, and other system components.
External fixation systems are used in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive applications where stabilization of a fractured or compromised bone is required through a frame positioned outside the body. Circular fixation rings can form part of a modular construct around the limb, providing attachment points for compatible fixation elements. The specific frame configuration, ring arrangement, and supporting components depend on the patient’s anatomy, fracture pattern, surgical plan, and selected fixation system.
With a 240 mm diameter, these rings provide a relatively large circular frame option for appropriate anatomical applications. The size should be selected according to the limb dimensions and the requirements of the complete external fixation construct. Proper clearance and compatibility with the other components of the fixation system should be confirmed before clinical use.
The rings are identified for selected tibial and femoral fracture applications. They may be incorporated into orthopedic trauma constructs where circular external fixation is appropriate. However, the ring alone does not constitute a complete fixation system. Additional compatible components may be required, including fixation wires or pins, rods, nuts, bolts, clamps, hinges, and connecting elements depending on the intended frame configuration.
The two-piece supply is useful for facilities maintaining external fixation components and for assembling compatible modular frames. Keeping multiple rings available can also assist with procedure-specific instrument and implant inventory organization.
The ring should be inspected carefully before use to ensure that it is free from deformation, cracks, surface damage, or other defects that could affect its intended function. Compatibility with the selected external fixation system should be confirmed based on dimensions, connection features, and manufacturer specifications.
Because external fixation components are part of a patient-specific orthopedic construct, their selection and application should be performed by appropriately trained orthopedic professionals. The complete construct should be planned according to the patient’s anatomy, injury characteristics, and the instructions applicable to the fixation system.
If the rings are supplied as reusable components, cleaning, disinfection, inspection, and sterilization should follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s infection-control protocols. Any component that shows damage or compromised structural integrity should be removed from service until appropriately evaluated.
Overall, the 240mm External Fixation Ring 2-Piece Set provides circular frame components for selected tibial and femoral fracture applications. Its 240 mm diameter and two-piece configuration make it a practical component for compatible modular external fixation systems used in orthopedic trauma environments.

FAQs
What is a 240mm external fixation ring?
A 240mm external fixation ring is a circular frame component used as part of compatible modular external fixation systems for selected orthopedic fracture and reconstruction applications.
What is the diameter of this fixation ring?
The ring has a specified diameter of 240 mm.
How many rings are included?
This product is supplied as a 2-piece set.
Can these rings be used for tibial fractures?
Yes. The product is intended for selected tibial fracture applications when incorporated into a compatible external fixation construct.
Can the rings be used for femoral fractures?
They may be used for selected femoral fracture applications when the ring dimensions and complete fixation system are appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and surgical plan.
Does the ring come as a complete external fixation system?
No. The product consists of two 240 mm rings. Additional compatible components such as wires, pins, rods, clamps, connectors, and other fixation elements may be required.
Are these rings compatible with every external fixation system?
No. Compatibility depends on the ring design, dimensions, connection features, and the other components of the fixation system. System specifications should be verified before use.
Who should select and apply external fixation components?
External fixation components should be selected and applied by appropriately trained orthopedic professionals according to the patient’s clinical requirements and the applicable fixation-system instructions.
Can external fixation rings be sterilized?
If supplied as reusable components, they should be cleaned and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s infection-control procedures.
