ABSTRACT:
A bone pin for a fractured vertebra has a pair of ends, a bend between the ends, and at least one laterally extending lug at one of the ends. A nonstraight hole is drilled in a vertebra or between two vertebrae and the pin is inserted by means of a special forceps into this hole. Thereafter the lug or lugs of the pin is screwed to the vertebra. Such a pin can be applied transabdominably or transthoracically, and can even be used to pin the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra.
