1. A computer-implemented method comprising employing at least one processor to execute instructions to:
generate a display of a graphical representation of a first ring of an external fixator superimposed on a display of a digital medical image, the digital medical image displaying a view of a patient's bone and the external fixator attached to the patient's bone, the external fixator including a second ring connected to the first ring by a plurality of struts;
receive first ring position user input entered graphically on the display of the graphical representation of the first ring, the first ring position user input controlling translation and/or rotation of the graphical representation of the first ring;
in response to receiving first ring position user input, generate a display of an updated graphical representation of the first ring superimposed on the display of the digital medical image, the updated graphical representation of the first ring reflecting the translation and/or rotation of the graphical representation of the first ring, the updated graphical representation of the first ring matching a position and orientation of the first ring in the digital medical image.
