The paper presents a unilateral external leg-lengthening fixator driven by 2 DoFs (Degrees-of-Freedom) planar mechanism and a hybrid position/force control scheme. In this paper, we show that the leg lengthening by the process of “distraction osteogenesis” is able to be achieved by using the proposed robotic fixator. In the operation process, the bone is supposed to be cut into two segments, the proposed...
