It can simultaneously correct varus deformity, while eliminating stiffness and abnormal gait that occur after ankle arthrodesis.

 

External Fixation for Complex Lower Limb Deformity

Lower Limb Alignment Deformities: Severe genu varum/valgum, ankle varus/valgus, post-traumatic limb malalignment

Complex Foot & Ankle Deformities: Rigid clubfoot, cavoclavus foot, severe flatfoot collapse (non-minimally invasive candidates in adults)
