A device for holding or supporting members of the fractures

摘要

The device for the immobilisation and/or support of human or animal limbs has, lying opposite one another in pairs, bone screws (3) or connecting parts (4) which receive bone nails and which are connected via clamping elements (5) with connecting rods (6) and in which distractional and/or compressive forces, e.g. in a fractured zone, can be exerted via tensioning means. Due to the fact that the individual components are made of a thermoplastic the device is transparent to X-rays. IMAGE
