ABSTRACT:
An external skeletal fixator for treating an injured mammalian limb, such as a horse's foreleg, includes a plurality of transfixation pins which transfix the bone at separated sites along the limb proximal the injury and terminate beyond the limb; means, exemplified by an organic polymer, for rigidly connecting pin terminii to a weight bearing member carried beneath the foot of the limb; together with means, e.g., affixing said weight bearing member to the foot of the limb, for immobilizing the limb distal the injury, whereby the weight of the mammal is transferred from the limb proximal the injury to the weight bearing member, permitting the mammal to ambulate while the injury heals.
