ABSTRACT:
This invention concerns variably connectable orthopaedic fracture fixing apparatus of a kind comprising at least one elongate member, at least two universal joint assemblies for coupling said member and associated bone pins, and an adjustment assembly for adjusting the spacing between said joint assemblies when connected with said member. In the present case the joint assemblies are each of ball joint form in which a ball is clamped by a wedge action between two sockets. Also, the adjustment assemblies are not necessarily integrated with a fracture fixing network constructed with the apparatus, but are separable therefrom. In addition, the joint assemblies can receive bone pins in a variety of closely spaced positions to minimize any need to stress the pins.
