Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThe use of external fixators to treat foot and ankle deformities remains a challenge in orthopedic surgery due to their diversity. We hope to improve the automation and accuracy of the correction process.MethodsA three‐degree‐of‐freedom (3‐DOF) electromotor‐driven external fixator for uniplanar foot and ankle deformities was proposed. Computer‐assisted correction software was developed to help surgeons use digital technology to measure the required parameters from patients' X‐ray radiographs. The correction trajectory and the prescriptions were generated in the software based on the proposed correction strategy.ResultsTwo clinical cases were simulated to verify the correction ability of the developed external fixator. The results showed that the angular and displacement deformities were well corrected.ConclusionsThe developed external fixator can accurately and automatically correct foot and ankle deformities with the help of computer‐assisted correction software, which significantly reduces the burden on surgeons and patients.
