1. A computer-implemented method for controlling manipulation of a fixation apparatus including rings and struts to correct an anatomical structure deformity of first and second anatomical structure segments comprising:
receiving, using one or more graphical user interfaces of a computing system, configuration information associated with the fixation apparatus, the configuration information comprising one or more geometric characteristics of the rings and the struts of the fixation apparatus;
determining, by the computing system, based at least in part on the configuration information, a position and an orientation of the rings of the fixation apparatus in three-dimensional space;
generating, by the computing system, one or more graphical representations showing the position and the orientation of the rings of the fixation apparatus;
determining, by the computing system, based at least in part on the configuration information, manipulations to the fixation apparatus for correction of the anatomical structure deformity, the manipulations comprising strut length changes and a strut size change; and
providing, by the computing system, to one or more users, an interface that displays a plurality of areas each corresponding to a respective day of a plurality of days, wherein the interface displays one or more indications of a range of days within the plurality of days on which a strut swap is performable, wherein the one or more indications are included in a group of areas within the plurality of areas corresponding to the range of days, and wherein the strut swap corresponds to the strut size change.
