Abstract

The Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is a hexapod multiplanar circular external fixator that is able to correct a wide variety of complex foot deformities. The frame configurations are as diverse as the deformities they treat, but they are built from three basic frames: the standard (long bone) frame, the butt frame, and the miter frame. The “PonseTaylor” frame is a novel application of a standard frame and is described here to demonstrate the flexibility of the TSF.
