ABSTRACT:
A bone setting apparatus is disclosed including an elongate shaft with a distal working arm and an intermediate working arm attached thereto so as to extend generally perpendicular to the shaft. The working arms are of sufficient length and thickness to act as leveraging bars to reduce a compound fracture. Preferably, the working arms have a concave contact surface for engaging the limb on which the apparatus will be used. Disposed at an end of the shaft opposite the distal and intermediate working arms is a torque control mechanism which extends outwardly from the shaft and can be used to accurately control rotation of the shaft as it is pivoted in such a manner that the distal and intermediate arms align fractured portions of a bone.
