Introduction

Classical fixation using a circular frame involves two rings per segment and in many units this remains the norm whether using ilizarov or hexapod type frames. We present the results of two ring circular frame at King's College Hospital.

Materials & Methods

A prospective database has been maintained of all frames applied since 2007. Radiographs from frames applied prior to July 2022 were examined. Clinic letters were then used to identify complications.

Included: two ring hexapod for fracture, malunion, nonunion, arthrodesis or deformity correction in the lower limb.

Excluded: patients under 16 years old, diabetic feet, Charcot joints, soft tissue contractures, arthrodiastasis, correction of the mid/forefoot, plate fixation augmentation, fixation off a third ring.
