A Revolutionary Approach to Regrow Bone & Prevent Amputation

A Revolutionary Approach to Regrow Bone & Prevent Amputation

Historically, patients with fractures that failed to heal or healed incorrectly in their extremities have had few treatment options available to them. The same goes for patients with bone defects or patients who required bone resection due to significant infection; their course of treatment often resulted in limb amputation. Fortunately, orthopedic medicine has since evolved to offer patients an alternative: bone lengthening via the Ilizarov method.

The Taylor Spatial Frame

The Taylor Spatial Frame

The TAYLOR SPATIAL FRAME is an external device for limb correction, lengthening and/or straightening that is based on the ILIZAROV™ Method. This external fixator takes advantage of the body’s natural ability to grow healthy new bone tissue and gives the surgeon the ability to accurately move bones to their correct precise anatomic alignment.

As the world’s most advanced, versatile and clinically proven circular fixator, the TAYLOR SPATIAL FRAME system enables uncompromising stability, flexibility and precision. Or, in a word, control.
