ABSTRACT:
An orthopaedic fixation frame apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart support members such as circular rings, plates, or the like supported by a plurality of struts that span therebetween. One end of the struts adjacent the upper ring is provided with a position adjusting member that forms an interface between the support member and one end of the struts. The position adjusting members include joints (e.g., universal joints) for enabling angular change between the position of the struts and the support members.
