DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE REDUCTION OF RADIUS FRACTURES

摘要

The invention relates to an instrument (1), intended for use in the reduction of radial fractures, including at least one first connecting device (3) and at least one second connecting device (4) with at least one intermediate frame (5). The first connecting device (3) is intended to be connected to the fracture victim's upper arm (6) and the second connecting device (4) is intended to be connected to the hand, fingers or the like at least one position which is positioned beyond the fracture relative to the first connecting device (3). The instrument (1) includes at least one first traction device (tensioning device) with which a change in distance between the first connecting device (3) and the second connecting device (4) may take place and hence a traction of the forearm may be performed. Unique to the present invention is that the instrument (1) includes at least one positioning device (8) with which the forearm's (2) position relative to the hand may be adjusted.
