PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of a prior art.SOLUTION: The present application relates to an external fixator ring that includes a central opening, inner and outer ring surfaces and upper and lower ring surfaces. In some embodiments, one or more holes are formed in the inner or outer surface for receiving securing devices. The holes in the inner or outer surfaces are adapted to provide rigid attachment for connection struts, while allowing for a range of motion between the interconnected rings. In some other embodiments, the external fixator ring further includes angled flanges radially extending from the inner or outer surfaces. Each of the angled flanges has a mounting surface, the holes are formed in the mounting surfaces of angled flanges for receiving the securing devices. |
