Abstract
The use of the lizarov ring fixator is new in veterinary orthopedics. It offers several advantages over standard external fixators in that t he surgeon may correct angular limb deformities while simultaneously l engthening the limb. Although presently available in the United States only for humans, a revised lizarov system is becoming available for v eterinarians at a reasonable cost.
