摘要:
The invention relates to an improved device (1) for external fixation of bone fractures, specifically for ankle fractures, of the type adapted for mounting to a unilateral external fixator and comprising an extendible central body (2) and opposed articulated portions which are connected to respective ends of the central body by ball joints. The device is an ankle clamp having a stem (20), preferably made of a transparent material to X-radiation, with a bifurcate end (21) formed with a pair of prongs (23, 24) having a first jaw portion (40) of a tilting clamp (25) journalled on a pivot (35) provided between the prongs and comprises a second jaw portion (50) coupled to the first jaw portion (40) and fastened thereto by a pair of screws (59).
摘要:
An external splint device for reducing bone fractures, being of the type which comprises at least two rod-like elements, such as a bone screw stem and a tie rod, which device comprises a clamping component for clamping said rod-like elements tightly together and has the advantage of being structurally simple and easy to handle; the clamping component comprises two identical clamps laid side-by-side, each clamp having two jaws for clamping a respective rod-like element, and further comprises a screw led through the jaws for clamping them between a head of the screw and a clamping nut threaded onto the screw, which has a conical portion lying close to the head for frictionally engaging one of the jaws as the clamping nut is clamped.

摘要:
A gauge for the medullary cavity comprises a tubular rod (1) shaped as a medullary pin, having incised lines (3, 3') and one or mor grooves (3, 3') in the vicinity of its distal end (2) and a scale (4) for measuring lengths and a substantially radial handle (5) which can be attached to the tubular rod (1) along at least part of its length, in the vicinity of its proximal end. The handle (5) comprises a tubular body (6), to one end of which is fixed a sleeve (7) which is slidably mounted on the rod. The end (8) of sleeve (7) pointing towards the distal end of the rod is of frustoconical shape which can be inserted into the medullary cavity in order to check its internal diameter and its opposite end has a circumferential edge (9) which can be aligned with reference marks on the scale (4) to indicate the length of the medullary cavity. Tubular member (6) has adjustable friction means (12, 13) within it to immobilise the handle in a given longitudinal position along the rod. The gauge can check both the diameter and the length of the cavity.
