The Taylor Spatial Frame (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, TN) is a powerful tool in providing gradual correction of deformity. The Taylor Spatial Frame has the potential to allow for very accurate corrections achieved over one or more schedules through the use of the software on www.spatialframe.com. The accuracy of the frame is contingent upon the input of precise parameters. The correction occurs about a virtual hinge in space called the origin. The location of the origin is defined by its spatial relationship to the reference ring. Mounting parameters are the measurements that define the location of the origin (virtual hinge). We present a simple practical method for obtaining mounting parameters during surgery using standard equipment.
