This invention presents an advanced external fixator system for orthopedic surgery, applicable to segmental fracture repair, correction of congenital or developmental deformities, and limb lengthening.
• Half-rings can be easily assembled into full rings using special connectors.
• Threaded rods with longitudinal cuts fit into channel slots for stable and minimally invasive fixation.
