Static circular fixation is a valuable tool for patients with Charcot foot and ankle deformities. The versatility of circular fixators allows for dynamic adjustments over time and can allow for off-loading of flaps or ulcers. The circular fixator can be used as a primary fixation device in cases of osteomyelitis or to facilitate lengthening when a segmental bone defect exists such as loss of the talus. As a secondary fixation device it can protect the internal fixation or be used when there is a compromised soft tissue envelope.
