Abstract

A control system for use with an adjustable bone fixation device having a frame connectible to bone tissue and a plurality of struts connected to the frame, the control system comprising: a plurality of actuators associated with the plurality of struts, each actuator configured for adjusting a length of at least one strut; and circuitry configured to: signal the plurality of actuators to adjust the struts according to a predefined actuation plan which sets operational parameters and permitted ranges thereof; determine a situation of potential failure associated with at least one actuator and involving at least one of the operational parameters being out of the permitted range; and implement, by signaling the at least one actuator, a recovery protocol designed to attempt completion of strut adjustment according to the predefined actuation plan.
