ABSTRACT:
A modular fixator assembly capable of allowing motion at the wrist during treatment of wrist fractures. The fixator assembly includes a distractor device, a pin outrigger attached to the distrator device, at least one pin for fixating the fracture fragments, and pin clamping assemblies for attaching the pin to the outrigger. The outrigger conforms to the anatomical configuration of the fractured bone thereby enabling direct fixation of the fracture fragments.
