OSTEOSYNTHESIS AID FOR PERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES OF THE NECK OF THE FEMUR

摘要

The invention relates to an osteosynthesis helping device, i.e. an osteosynthesis plate (4), which can be firmly connected to a medullary pin (3). At the same time, it relates especially to an osteosynthesis helping device for femoral neck fractures, comprising a medullary pin (3) for the proximal region (A) of the femoral bone, a connection provided on its outer end for an osteosynthesis plate, and an osteosynthesis plate having bores for the reception of bone screws (6, 2), one set of bone screws (6) serving to fix the osteosynthesis plate on the femur and the other set of bone screws (2) serving to connect the osteosynthesis plate (4) to the neck of the femur, and, furthermore, the bores having a transversal spacing which is larger than the diameter of the medullary pin (3). It is also possible to fix an osteosynthesis plate to the head of the humerus by means of screws to which a medullary pin can be firmly connected. IMAGE
