Aim

To investigate the biomechanical behaviours of the TL-Hex & Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) Hexapod external fixators, with comparison to traditional ring-fixator constructs.

Methods

Standardised four-ring TL-Hex and TSF constructs, as well as matched ilizarov threaded-rod constructs for each set of components, were tested alone and mounted with an acrylic bone model with simulated fracture gap using fine-wires. Load-deformation properties for each construct and mode of loading were calculated and analysed statistically using ANOVA.
