Current clinical services are very struggling to assist the most favourable treatment for ankle and foot injuries. Therefore, this inspired researchers and engineering to investigate and explore the important of biomechanical behaviour of an external fixator. However, the understanding on biomechanical of the external fixator is important point as it can contribute to the success of injuries treatment. This review article discusses an overview of the external fixator for ankle and foot injuries management. First and foremost, this paper addresses general features of the external fixator that includes configurations, materials used and overall construct stability. In addition, we also reviewed the use of external fixator in clinical applications. In conclusion, this report suggests some recommendation for future biomechanical studies in order to provide valuable information for researchers and medical experts.

“…External fixation recently has gained popularity as a less invasive treatment of CN. [74][75][76][77][78][79][80] Potential advantages include single use in patients with ongoing ulcers and osteomyelitis and those with poor soft tissue envelope. Other indications include patients with severe bone loss, morbid obesity, osteopenia, and multiple comorbidities.…”

“…The goal is to limit any predisposing factors (ie, further trauma) that may lead to a debilitating unstable deformity at the chronic Charcot stage. Some surgeons have advocated surgical reconstruction during the acute Charcot stages, but the actual decision between conservative or surgical intervention depends on the size, anatomic location, and instability of the deformity; the presence of infection; the patient's health status and compliance; psychosocial issues (eg, depression, self‐neglect); the presence of obesity; the patient's ambulatory status; and the patient's life expectancy 20,21 …”

Charcot neuroarthropathy, a chronic progressive destruction of joint integrity, is believed to result from a disturbance in pain and proprioceptive sensation. It is most commonly treated in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and dense peripheral neuropathy. Prevention, early diagnosis, and early treatment are key to a patient's successful outcome. Educating the patient is paramount to avoid further complications and subsequent amputations. This article describes the pathophysiology, staging, surgical treatment, and natural course of Charcot neuroarthropathy.
