Abstract
This paper presents the development of the scheduling software to adjust the Hexapod Circular Fixator (HCF), which has 6 degrees-of-freedom. HCF is an instrument to correct complex skeletal deformities by using the patient's X-ray image. HCF scheduler evaluates each lengthening/ shortening data of the HCF's struts to correct the bone deformity. HCF scheduler is implemented in C++ as a window-based application program. Proposed scheduling program is verified through bone model test and showed its usefulness through many cases.
