In general, various embodiments of the present invention comprise an external fixation device, an internal fixation device, and a lower extremity stabilizer. The external fixation device is connected to the lower extremity stabilizer and the external fixation device is adjustably connected to the internal fixation device. The internal fixation device is capable of being attached to at least one bone in a patient's foot, ankle, and / or lower extremity. The system is capable of simultaneously compressing and stabilizing at least one bone for treating Charcot neuroarthropathy, fractures, revisional foot and ankle surgery including but not limited to malunions, nonunions, delayed unions, fibrous unions, avascular necrosis, resected osteomyelitis, incorporated autogenous and / or allogenic bone grafts for arthrodesis procedures, pseudoarthrosis and bones with decreased mineral density and cortical stiffness, and / or the like for any reconstructive and / or elective foot and ankle surgery where a compression arthrodesis is needed. The external fixation device and / or lower extremity stabilizer can be removed after a certain period of time, leaving the internal fixation system within the body for prolonged stabilization and maintenance of the arthrodesis site(s).
