A radiolucent apparatus for the reduction of forearm bone fracture and a method thereof

摘要

An apparatus and a method for reduction of forearm bone fracture on a patient, a radiolucent base plate having a first end and a second end, including a plurality of members which are spatially apart, a first engaging member positioned at the first end of the base plate, a second engaging member positioned in between the first end and the second end of the base plate, a track member is guide to slide the second engaging member fixed over the base plate, and a traction member positioned at the second end of the base plate for the unobstructed radiographs. The first engaging member positioned to employ an elbow of the patient, the second engaging member positioned to engage the wrist of the patient, were the patient wore a cloth made autoclavable glove including a periphery hoop and the traction member coupled to the hoop to confer sustained traction and counter traction forces to the patient arm to realign the fractured bone.
