Short summary
The reconfigurable external fixation based on the seven-link mechanism has configurations in multiple dimensions, multiple postures, and multiple fracture scenarios, enabling rapid and stable fixation of fractures in the femur, tibia, elbow joint, knee joint, and ankle joint. It has been verified that this external fixation has stable structure and reliable fixation and significantly shortens the operation time and can be used for temporary fracture fixation in emergency medical scenarios.
