ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the osteosynthesis of bone fragments, in particular for the fixation of bone fractures comprises a retaining strap that wraps around the fracture or the bone in the region of the site to be treated. The retaining strap is in the form of a flat strip typically in the nature of a hose- or pipe-clamp. At one end of the retaining strap, which is intended to be that end which contacts the bone, there is provided a receiving element through which the other end of the retaining strap can be passed and fixed in position to hold the strap in place under tension when wrapped around the bone. The receiving element is mounted so that it can be rotated about an axis substantially perpendicular to the flat surface of the retaining strap.
