Abstract
Treatment options for limb deformities were delevoped through time and Taylor Spatial Frame was indicated as a Stewart Platform based external fixation system that superior in terms of correction and ease of use. New external fixator (i.e. Ross’s external fixator) was created as solution from Taylor Spatial Frame’s problems. Several changes on Taylor Spatial Frame design were made to create Ross’ external fixator. However, Ross’ frame may have stability issue as consequence from Taylor’s design changes. Comparation of these frames is needed to develop limb deformities treatment. This paper is focused on the design performance of external fixator’s rings based on Stewart Platform. Taylor Spatial Frame’s and Ross Frame’s ring are compared and evaluated in design form. Both ring models are presented using Autodesk Inventor 2016. Numerical Modelling (i.e. Finite Element Analysis) used for compare both rings design performance. The comparation results will be useful for further research in ring fixation product development.
