ABSTRACT:
A fracture reducing apparatus having a main rod comprising a handle section and a lever section and a pair of arms capable of riding on the lever section, each of which arms can be retained at a particular location in the lever section by the engagement of a thumb bolt disposed in the arm to frictionally engage the lever section. The apparatus is adapted to be autoclavable, and the use thereof reduces the incidence of radiation exposure from X-ray of the hands of the fracture reducing personnel. The device is used for the reduction of long bone fractures.
