A collapsible fixator system comprising a first frame member and a second frame member and at least one strut. Each frame member comprises an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of apertures extending from the upper surface to the lower surface. Each of the at least one struts comprises first and second strut connectors, such that the first and the second strut connectors are operable to releasably connect the strut to the first frame member and the second frame member. When the first and second strut connectors are in a first, collapsed position, the strut is releasably positioned substantially parallel to the upper and lower surfaces of the first and second frame members. When the first and second strut connectors are in a second, erect position, the strut may be fixedly positioned such that the first and second frame members are spaced apart from one another.
