The Taylor Spatial Frame is a computer assisted hexapod system allowing simultaneous correction of every component of complex limb deformities (leg length discrepancy, angulation, translation and rotation). We report our experience with this system in six patients. The planned correction was achieved in all cases. Minor complications occured in all but one patient without consequences; there were four major complications: non union, callus fracture, plantar aponeurosis retraction and reflex sympathetic dystrophy in one case each. These complications were not in relation with the type of fixator used. In patients requiring correction of complex deformities, the Taylor Spatial Frame is a useful device that simplifies the planning procedure and allows simultaneous correction of any deformity in every plane. Another major advantage is the possibility to correct any residual deformity at the end of the planned procedure.
泰勒空间框架是一种计算机辅助的六足系统，可同时矫正复杂肢体畸形的各个组成部分（腿长差异、成角、平移和旋转）。我们报告了该系统在6例患者中的应用经验。所有病例均实现了计划的矫正。除1例患者外，其余患者均出现轻微并发症，但未造成后果；有4例严重并发症：分别为骨不连、骨痂骨折、足底腱膜挛缩和反射性交感神经营养不良各1例。这些并发症与所使用的固定器类型无关。对于需要矫正复杂畸形的患者，泰勒空间框架是一种有用的器械，它简化了计划程序，并允许在每个平面同时矫正任何畸形。另一个主要优点是有可能在计划程序结束时矫正任何残留畸形。
