Abstract
This is an example of preoperative planning and operative treatment for aesthetic changing of lower limb shape using external fixation. In this case, we performed gradual correction via a computer-assisted hexapod – Ortho-SUV Frame. Module transformation (removing of struts and internal half rings) provided opportunity to have patient stand with both legs together. This was helpful for evaluating clinical alignment and appearance.
