摘要

FIELD: medical engineering.;SUBSTANCE: device has two half-arches connected to each other with adjustment threaded rods on cantilevers placed on both half-arch sides in different holes and fixing screw rods on cantilevers and bushings mounted on the half-arches. Four screw rods are available in the device design. Two of them are usable for introducing from frontal side in horizontal plane below anterior superior iliac spines and two others are introducible each from lateral side via supra-acetabular areas in perpendicular to screw rods introduced from frontal side. Adjustment rods are in frontal position.;EFFECT: simplified design; reduced risk of traumatic complications.;2 dwg
