EQUIPMENT FOR REDUCING A FRACTURE, IN PARTICULAR A FRACTURE SITUATED IN THE AREA OF THE EPIPHYSES

摘要

The device according to the invention, for reducing a fracture, in particular a distal radius fracture, comprises: an osteosynthesis plate with an elongated body part prolongated by a single-piece head part, said head part including orifices adapted for "poly-axial" assembly of fastening screws, a guiding block type device fitted with through-orifices adapted for acting as a guide to said fastening screws, means for drilling orifices with a set of suitable drill bits, a first drilling guide whereof the threaded insert adapted for being screwed in one of the nuts of the plate head, the latter being deprived of the guiding block, to enable the realisation of an drill-hole in the bone by a "poly-axial" type technique, and a second drilling guide adapted for co-operating with one of the orifices of said guiding block positioned sur said plate head so as to enable the realisation of a drill-hole in the bone by a "mono-axial" type technique.
