    摘要: An external fixation strut includes an elongated body including first and second tubular shafts. Opposite connectors are respectively coupled to one of the shafts and include a ball and socket joint. One shaft has an internal diameter slightly larger than the external diameter of the other to host the other shaft in a slidably and telescopic manner. The shafts of the strut are a synthetic radiolucent plastic material. A clamp element is in proximity of overlapping ends of the shafts for fast gripping action stopping the sliding of one shaft inside the other. A fixation element is manually operated and acts on the clamp element. A sleeve is provided around the central portion of the strut where the shafts overlap. The clamp element is a clamp band around the sleeve and includes opposite and facing gripping portions. The gripping portions are connected by a threaded connector of the fixation element.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an improved orthopaedic device for athrodesis, in particular for the arthrodesis or fusion of a joint, for example an ankle joint, of the type comprising of a nail having head and tip ends opposed to each other; at least a first portion of the nail having an axis of symmetry; a single circular first transverse hole made in the first portion near the head of the nail and extended according to its own axis perpendicularly to the axis of symmetry; a slotted second transverse hole still made in the first portion of the nail and extended perpendicular to both the first axis of symmetry; and to the axis of the first transverse hole; and the slotted second transverse hole being made at a greater distance with respect to the head of the nail than the distance from the head of the first transverse hole.

    摘要: Elongated pin (1) for an external fixator for temporary and/or permanent fixation applications to treat bone fractures and to connect two or more bone fragments to each other, comprising an elongated cylindrical stem (2) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) and a conical end portion (3) with a tip and an external thread for inserting the pin (1) into a bone, wherein said conical end portion (3) with a tip has an overall length, measured along the longitudinal axis (X), equal to the diameter (d) of the stem (2) ±20% of said diameter (d) and wherein the stem (2) comprises a cylindrical end area (4) extending adjacent to the conical portion (3) and having an external thread which extends over a length, measured along the longitudinal axis (X), equal to the diameter (d) of the stem (2) ±25% of said diameter (d).
