Pictures of the external fixator I had for a distal fracture of the radius. The removal is shown in the second half. Thankfully this was a small fixator compared to what some people get. While the whole thing is an inconvenience, it is a lot less painful than it looks. Also, I understand that it has advantages over a plaster cast, in that you can scratch your arm if it itches! My apologies for the gore.
