An external fixation device is provided for substantially immobilizing a patient's foot relative to the patient's leg, after a conventional procedure in which wires are disposed through the foot and opposite ends of the pins are secured to a foot frame arranged proximate the patient's foot. The fixation device includes a pair of braces, a cushion, and a fastener. The braces are arranged on opposite sides of the patient's leg, and each has a plurality of attachment points for selectively receiving a first end of a stabilizing rod. The cushion is disposed between each of the braces and the patient's leg. The fastener secures the braces and the cushion relative to the patient's leg. The stabilizing rod is adjustably secured proximate a second end to the foot frame.
