I mean in which direction, towards the outside or the inside of the legs? Also how many bolts per leg are you supposed to turn?

With external fixator where are you supposed to turn the bolts?

I guess there are different kind of fixators. Your doctor will explain it to you when it's time.

Normally the fixator is pushed upwards/lengthened by tightening the bolts (towards the inside) at the top, and towards the outside in the middle. I've seen some fixators with 3 and 4 bolts per leg. Mine has 3 (metal frame), one guy did his in Italy with 4 (aluminum)
