Internal fixation in MSF

A protocol for starting an orthopaedic programme with internal fixation exists for the MSF missions.

The authorization to practise internal fixations in an MSF mission must meet all the criteria listed in the reference document. They are absolute minimum criteria checked and signed by a referent before implementing such a programme.

The articles can only be used in projects where the prerequisites for internal fixation are already in place and internal fixation is ongoing with good follow up of surgical complications and surgical infections.

Only orthopedic surgeons are allowed to use these sets.
