Abstract
Hexapod external fixators are a sophisticated class of devices that are commonly used in the management of complex trauma, limb deformity, limb reconstruction, and/or limb lengthening. They are distinguished using 6 length adjustable struts that typically connect a pair of ring components to one another. These rings serve as proximal and distal fixation to skeletal segments and can be very precisely manipulated with respect to one another across 6 degrees of freedom using dedicated software for planning purposes.
