Fig. 1

Modified version of the poster used in the authors’ institution as a technical reminder. This version was translated into English from the original version, and institutional markings were removed. On the left side, example of the AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner boot (Medacta International SA, Castel San Pietro, Switzerland): the boot has medial and lateral slots allowing proper fitting of the patient’s distal leg into the boot, despite the presence of a tibio-cacaneal external fixator with a transcalcaneal pin. On the right side, example of the boot used with the operating table TruSystem™ 7500 with extension unit (Trumpf Medical, Saalfeld, Germany): the boot has no medial or lateral slot and the external fixator construct must be extended with a distal frame (Hoffmann III, Stryker, Selzach, Switzerland) which can be inserted and clamped into the fixation apparatus dedicated to the attachment of the boot
