Abstract
Hindfoot salvage procedures by definition present circumstances requiring extraordinary measures to prevent or limit damage or destruction. Although this technique is used at some centers as the only means of correcting and fixating foot and ankle deformities, it is an expensive procedure. Other available methods may be more expeditious depending on the circumstances. However, the benefits of external fixation in certain circumstances are invaluable. Circular frame external fixators are important tool for the foot and ankle surgeon.
