“…A slight shortening still exists, requiring a further, simple lengthening procedure (f, g) this reason, it is essential to identify patient groups for which spatial fixators would play a significantly effective role. Various studies have been performed with spatial fixators, mostly case reports or case series [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Few comparative studies have been published [5,20].…”

Purpose In this study, the correction accuracy of Smart Correction spatial fixators and of Ilizarov-type external fixators are compared in terms of deformity complexity. Methods Seventy-seven (40 male, 37 female) bone segments of 57 patients treated with a Smart Correction device were compared with 94 (51 male, 43 female) segments of 68 patients treated with an Ilizarov fixator. Mean age of the Smart Correction group was 20.69±12.94 years, and or the Ilizarov group 22.45±12.18 years. Patients were categorised according to limb lengthening and the number of deformity planes.

“…These devices are software-based hexapod frames or six-axis correction devices. Angulation, rotation, translation and length can all be addressed at the same time or individually [4,5,17,20,25]. One of these devices is the Ortho-SUV Frame (OSF) (Ortho-SUV Ltd. and Vreden Russian Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation), which was developed in 2006 [22].…”

Purposes This study compared the six-axis external fixator Ortho-SUV Frame (OSF) and the Ilizarov apparatus (IA) in femoral deformity correction. Our specific questions were: (1) which of the fixators (OSF or IA) provides shorter period of femoral deformity correction, and (2) which of the fixators (OSF or IA) provides better accuracy of correction. Methods We retrospectively analysed 123 cases of femoral deformities (127 femora): 45 (47) treated with OSF (20 male and 27 female) and 78 (80) with IA (53 male and 27 female). The average age in the OSF group was 34.6 (range, 18-66) and in the IA group 35.8 (range, 18-76). All the deformities were categorized according to the number of planes and deformity components as simple, middle and complex deformities. Results Elimination of simple deformities in the IA group took 58.3±21.4 days, EFI 58.8±39.8 days/cm, and lengthening was 4.6±1.98 cm. Middle deformities were 71.3±26.2, 61.9±30.3 and 4±2, respectively. In complex deformities we had 105.2± 21.8, 79.3±35.4 and 3.2±1.45, respectively. Normal alignment was achieved in 55.0 % of cases in IA. In 45.0 % of cases we had residual deformity. Elimination of simple deformations in the OSF group took 55.3±12.8 days, EFI 47.5±23 days/cm, and lengthening 4.5±1.1сm. Middle deformities were 43.6± 18.9, 59±14.6 and 3.6±2, respectively. In complex deformities we had 44.9±11.5, 57.5±9.4 and 3.6±1.7, respectively. In the OSF group normal alignment was achieved in 85.1 %. In 14.9 % there was residual deformity.Conclusion Using OSF simplifies deformity correction and reduces its period by 2.3 times in complex deformities and by 1.6 times in middle deformities. Accuracy of correction with OSF was significantly higher than correction with IA.

“…203 With both the Ilizarov apparatus and the hexapod frame, one can acquire the desired correction gradually 204 after the operation, and correction speed and direction are also adjustable depending on neurovascular or skin 205 problems. Thus, it can be ensured that the patient is comfortable and satisfied with the foot position prior to 206 accepting the final position (6,11,12). The hexapod can correct multiplanar deformities simultaneously.…”

“…An accurate correction of a foot deformity using TSF is expected as the accuracy of the lower 210 limbs had been reported (20,21). Eight types of TSF configurations for feet are available (12,22), and some 211 of them have been used clinically and the good results are reported (10,11). 212 In this report, the direct comparison of reduction capability between OSF and TSF was not performed 213 because the condition, which is appropriate for both of them, with multiple configurations, could not be Table 2.…”

“…However, hexapod frames, which have become popular recently, enable us to correct 51 complicated deformities simultaneously, while the Ilizarov apparatus needs to be reassembled and adjusted 52 for each deformity (4). Corrections with the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) (Smith and Nephew Inc., Memphis, 53 TN), which is the most widely used hexapod, have been reported (10)(11)(12). 54 The Ortho-SUV Frame (OSF; Ortho-SUV Ltd., Vreden Russian Research Institute of Traumatology and 55 Orthopedics, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation) was developed in 2006, and so far it has had success in long 56 bone corrections and knee contractures (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

External fixators enable distraction osteogenesis and gradual foot deformity corrections. Hexapod fixators have become more popular than the Ilizarov apparatus. The Ortho-SUV Frame (OSF), which is a hexapod that was developed in 2006, allows flexible joint attachment so that multiple assemblies are available. We assessed the reduction capability of several assemblies. An artificial bone model with a 270-mm-long longitudinal foot was used. A 130-mm tibial full ring was attached 60 mm proximal to the ankle joint. A 140-mm, 2/3-ring forefoot was attached perpendicular to the metatarsal bone axis. A 130-mm, 2/3-ring hindfoot was attached parallel to the tibial ring. A V-osteotomy, which was combined with 2 oblique osteotomies at the navicular-cuboid bone and the calcaneus, was performed. The middle part of the foot, including the talus, was connected to the tibial ring. Five types of forefoot applications and 4 types of hindfoot were assessed. The range of correction included flexion/extension in the sagittal plane, adduction/abduction in the horizontal plane, and pronation/supination in the coronal plane. Additionally, we reported short-term results in 9 clinical cases. Forefoot applications, in which the axis of the hexapod was parallel to the axis of the metatarsal bones, had good results with 52/76 (flexion/extension), 48/53 (adduction/abduction), and 43/51 (pronation/supination) degrees. Hindfoot applications, in which the hexapod encircled the ankle joint, had good results with 47/58, 20/35, and 28/31 degrees, respectively. Clinically, all deformities were corrected as planned. Multiple assemblies and wide ranges of corrections are available with OSF.
