Final pin-to-block design that incorporated fixed angle pin-to-block constructs. Figure A demonstrates the orientation for a linear external fixator. Five holes in the block provided for many different metal pin arrangements during surgery. Figure B demonstrates an example of an angled block with 20-degree lateral angulation and 20-degree inferior angulation. This could be used for a Delta frame external fixator construct around an ankle. The opening in the threaded component accommodates a de-rotation wedge
