The external fixation brace for fractures usually takes more than 4-6 weeks to be removed. As to when it is removed, it depends on when the fracture can reach the standard of clinical healing. After the fracture has been adequately treated, the patient should return to the orthopedic department for regular follow-up examinations and x-rays to determine the current degree of fracture healing. The external fixation should be removed only after the doctor has confirmed that the fracture has reached clinical healing. In some special cases, such as fracture site damage is particularly serious, or accompanied by some soft tissue or vascular nerve damage, the removal time of the external fixation brace may be extended accordingly. Patients must follow the doctor’s advice and arrangement for the specific removal time, and should not remove it without permission.
