Dynamization of the external fixator, defined as gradually decreasing construct‐stability of the fixator, is widely accepted as a method for treatment during the late phase of the bone healing process. However, the dynamization is mostly based on the subjective experience of orthopaedists at present, without unified standards and a clear theoretical basis. The objective of the study is to investigate the influence of the dynamization operations on the tibial mechanical properties with a hexapod circular external fixator and standardize the dynamization process.
