Clinical Utility of Integrant’s FrameIt
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Medical Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper explores Integrant’s FrameIt, a novel external fixator based on the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF). The TSF, invented by Dr. Charles Taylor, offers significant advantages over traditional Ilizarov frames in treating complex bone deformities and fractures. FrameIt leverages the TSF’s ability for precise six-axis adjustments and computer-assisted planning to achieve faster correction times and improved patient outcomes. The paper delves into the TSF’s background, highlighting its development as a solution to the limitations of the Ilizarov frame. It emphasizes the TSF’s reliance on principles from projective geometry, the Chasles’ Theorem and the Stewart Platform to achieve its superior accuracy. Furthermore, the paper explores the factors impacting the TSF’s success. It analyzes the influence of: Available and Emerging Technologies: The paper stresses the importance of utilizing advancements enhancing the TSF’s design and functionality Historical and Cultural Factors: The paper acknowledges the historical context that led to the development of external fixation systems, with the Ilizarov frame paving the way for the TSF Economic Factors: The paper discusses the economic considerations surrounding the TSF’s adoption, including equipment costs, procedures and aftercare. It highlights the limitations imposed by high costs on accessibility for some patients In conclusion, the paper positions Integrant’s FrameIt as a promising advancement in bone deformity correction. By building upon the TSF’s foundation and addressing economic barriers, FrameIt has the potential to revolutionize patient care in this field.
