Abstract
Multiple versions of ring fixators are currently available to orthopaedic surgeons. Although the traditional Ilizarov-type ring fixator is still available, many surgeons are now using computer-assisted hexapod frames. There has been a recent surge in the number of different hexapod ring fixators on the market. This article will review some of the new trends in ring fixator hardware and software as well as discuss possible future directions of ring fixator development.
