ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed toward a method for performing an internal fixation of fractures of tubular bones using a balloon catheter fixation device which is inflated inside the bone and tightened by applying pressure on the catheter outside of the bone to apply a compression force across the fracture site enhancing the stability of the fractured bone and promoting osseous healing.
