A DEVICE FOR FACILITATING THE APPLICATION OF A FIXING PLATE TO THE RELATIVE SCREW FOR THE MINIMALLY INVASIVE STABILIZATION OF PERTROCHANTERIC FEMORAL FRACTURES WITH SLIDING SCREW - PLATE SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention concerns a device (1) for allowing the application of a fixing plate (20) on a compression screw (10) in a bone fracture, in particular a femoral fracture. In accordance with the invention, a generally long- shaped element (1) is included, provided on one of its ends (2) with fixing means (4, 16, 6) for rendering applicable the device to the end (13) of the compression screw (10). On the opposite side, a bevel (3) is included, configured in such a way as to realize a stress for the insertion in use of the plate when the channel of the plate is not in axis with the screw.
