Abstract
The advantages of ring external fixation for correction of complex deformities of the foot and ankle include the ability to correct severe deformity, perform gradual correction, modify treatment during correction, and minimize neurovascular damage. External fixation can provide opportunities to operate on scarred and contracted tissues, preserve joints and joint function, maintain or gain foot length, and allow weight bearing during treatment.Entities:
