Foot Ring Short Aluminum



The Foot Ring Short – Aluminum is a partial arc segment of a circular fixator system designed specifically for use in distal limb applications, particularly around the foot and ankle. This short-length version is ideal when minimal frame bulk is desired or when limited coverage is clinically necessary—such as for wound access or pediatric applications.
Made from surgical-grade anodized aluminum, the ring offers a lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant alternative to stainless steel, making it easier for both surgeons during assembly and patients during recovery.
Material:
High-strength anodized aluminum alloy (commonly 6061-T6 or equivalent)
Known for its light weight, biocompatibility, and mechanical integrity
Surface Finish:
Hard anodized surface for wear and corrosion protection
Fully autoclavable and reusable
- Foot & Ankle Trauma Management – Stabilizes fractures in calcaneus, midfoot, or metatarsals where minimal bulk is preferred.
- Diabetic Foot & Wound Access – Useful in Charcot foot reconstruction or ulcer management, allowing open wound access due to its short profile.
- Pediatric Applications – Ideal for use in children or small-stature patients due to its compact size and reduced weight.
- Limb Reconstruction – Functions as a distal ring in tibial lengthening, deformity correction, or soft tissue stabilization.
- Custom Modular Frame Systems – Designed to work with other segmental rings, arches, and rod constructs for patient-specific needs.
- Short Arc Configuration – Ideal for targeted fixation, reduced coverage, or where surgical site access is needed.
- Lightweight Design – Significantly reduces total frame weight, enhancing patient mobility and comfort.
- Multiple Mounting Holes – Allows versatile placement of K-wires, Schanz pins, and rods.
- Anodized Finish – Provides a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface with a clean look.
- Modular Compatibility – Easily integrates with long foot rings, arches, and full circular frames.
- Radiology-Friendly – Aluminum allows clearer X-ray imaging compared to stainless steel alternatives.
