Modified apparatus for reposition and fixation of bone fragments

Abstract

The modified device was used for the treatment of 817 patients with fractures and pseudoarthrosis, correction of bone deformities and limb lengthening in hospitals of Russia and abroad. Perfection of the construction in comparison with previous designs enabled to simplify the application of the device, shorten the operation time and to increase the efficacy of its use. Graduate dozed reduction of bone fragments in all planes as well as elimination of angular displacement is performed using special device and anterior distracter without additional unit. Sagittal and frontal compression of bone fragments is carried out both longitudinally and transversely by the device itself due to its peculiarities. Stable fixation of fragments within the device does not prevent movements in the adjacent joint and provides the possibility of early limb loading.
