| External fixation function | Surgically drilled into bones |
| What to be careful of with External fixation | Infection no blood flow |
| When is external fixation better than internal fixation | Slow healers Early mobility |
| Internal fixation function | Surgically fix commuted or displaced fractures |
| What to be careful with internal fixation | infection NWB for 6 weeks |
