ABSTRACT:
A bone compression and distraction device for compressing and distracting the ends of a bone and affixing a splint plate thereacross. The device comprises a pair of blocks interconnected by an adjustment assembly. The blocks are each seated on the ends of the splint plate and connected to the respective ends of the bone by a long bone screw positioned through a transverse hole in the block and through aligned holes in the splint plate. One of the holes in the splint plate is slotted to allow the compression or distraction of the bone ends whereupon short bone screws are positioned through other holes in the splint plate into the bone ends allowing the blocks to be removed and its screws replaced by short bone screws positioned through the same holes in the plate and into the bone ends.
