ABSTRACT:
A distraction device enabling management of the evolving deformation of the trunk of a child during growth. The device is easy to implant on account of its compact shape and includes two rods which can be bent and deformed on the ends thereof and which are mounted on a central adjusting member which is provided with a small hole for engaging a small tool that is designed to adjust the distance separating the elements for attachment to the bone. The inventive device can be locked in a position which is determined by the tightening of two screws which are disposed on the adjusting device.
