An Alternative Technique to Strut Change in Hexapod Circular External Fixator
Abstract
Frame [TSF, Smith and Nephew, Memphis, USA] and the Ortho-SUV [OSF, Pitkar-Orthotools, Pune, India] are increasingly being used in the correction of limb deformities1,2. The device comprises of six struts of various lengths between the two rings to accommodate a multitude of deformities. It can correct three-dimensional deformities simultaneously using the concept of a virtual hinge, guided by a web-based programme.
