 (February 5, 2010) The pediatric specialist team from Le Bonheur Children's  brought their innovative surgical techniques with them to Haiti. The following picture is of an "x-fix" operation to repair a child's tibia. An x-fix is short for an external fixator.  It is typically used to quickly fix open fractures.
