The new hexapod ring-fixation system automates the strut adjustment process during treatment for limb deformity correction, limb lengthening, complex fractures and post-traumatic complications.
Traditionally, hexapod ring fixators (HRF) require manual strut manipulation by the patient or their caregiver over weeks or months of treatment. Maxframe Autostrut makes frequent, small strut adjustments that could help improve the quality and speed of bone formation when compared to manual HRF adjustments, according to DePuy Synthes.
