What are the economics of hybrid external fixator frames?
Most hybrid conversations begin with the assumption that the surgeon owns basic SK™ linear external fixation components. Therefore, only a minimum of circular fixation components is necessary as compared to a complete circular external fixation frame. Hybrid frame cost is significantly less than a complete CESF frame. The modular nature of the IMEX™ system allows one to upgrade to a true CESF frame with the same components.
