The device is a circular ring fixator modular, multidimensional, multi planer in construction, which allows early weight bearing and early mobilization. The major advantage of this procedure is that the apparatus provides adequate fixation. While the bone is recovering, the patient can remain active and mobile.
The rings are connected to each other with threaded rods attached through adjustable nuts. The circular construction and tensioned wires of the Ilizarov apparatus provide far more structural support than the traditional monolateral fixator system. This allows early weightbearing.
