Neurovascular anatomy around the knee: Relevance of the dangers of self-drilling external fixator pin tips
Introduction: With external fixation of the femur and tibia, iatrogenic injury to neurovasculature from self-drilling tips of fixation pins is an important consideration in pin placement. Precise knowledge of the neurovascular anatomy in the distal femur and proximal tibia is important to limit pote...
