Abstract

Surgery of the Musculoskeletal System is the most vibrant, quickly developing and enlarging reconstructive surgical specialty of this Century. The current 10 years are dedicated to this subject, and entitled “The bone and joint decade” which is a tribute to this subject’s significance. The past 35 years have been the stage for more significant developments and advances in reconstructive surgery of the Musculoskeletal System then all the previous decades from the time the name of “Ortho-Paeis” was cornered during the Industrial Revolution. Studies into the mechanical properties of the thin wire hybrid three plane, circular external fixator, have opened and enlarged the understanding of biological processes stimulated and supported by the above mentioned mechanical environment. Thus, with time, the crucial role played by striated muscles in the physiology of bone growth and repair is attaining broader recognition and understanding.
