Analysis of strut-to-bone lengthening ratio for hexapod frames using mathematical modeling

Background: Hexapod external fixators often incorporate bone lengthening as part of a multi-planar deformity correction plan. The hexapod struts, however, do not distract in the direction of bone lengthening. Their oblique orientation to the ring creates a vector that is the summation of multiple in...
