• Patients with severe osteoporosis
• Patients with severe, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus
• Patients with compromised vascularity
• Patients with previous infections

The Galaxy Fixation System is intended to be used for bone stabilization in trauma and orthopaedic procedures, both on adults and all paediatric subgroups excepts newborns as required. The indications for use include:

• Open or closed fractures of the long bones
• Open or closed fractures of the long bones
• Vertically stable pelvic fractures or as a treatment adjunct for vertically unstable pelvic fractures
• Infected and aseptic non‐unions
• Joint pathologies/injuries of upper and lower limb, such as:
• Proximal humeral fractures
• Intra-articular knee, ankle and wrist fractures
• Delayed treatment of dislocated and stiff elbows
• Chronic, persistent elbow joint instability
• Acute elbow joint instability after complex ligament injuries
• Unstable elbow fractures
• Additional elbow stabilization of post-operative unstable internal fixation
• Intra-articular or extra-articular fractures and dislocations of the wrist with or without soft tissue damage
• Polytrauma
• Carpal dislocations
• Unreduced fractures following conservative treatment
• Bone-loss or other reconstructive procedures
• Infection
• The Shoulder Fixation System is intended to be used for proximal humeral fractures where two thirds of the methaphysis is intact
