ABSTRACT:
An L-shaped surgical device serves for the connection of a fractured neck to the shaft of a femur by means of a pre-drilled connector plate, without the requirement of making a large incision in the overlying skin and tissue. The connector plate has a sharp lower edge by which it penetrates through a small incision in the trochanter region into close contact with the shaft. During the operation the upper end of the plate is temporarily attached to the horizontal arm of the device, while its vertical arm extends parallel to the plate and is provided with holes in continuation of the holes in the plate. Guide tubes are provided which extend through the holes in the arm to the holes in the plate after having been pushed through the soft tissue. The tubes serve as guides for pre-drilling of the bone parts on the correct position as viewed by X-ray equipment, and subsequently for the insertion of long screws and fixation of the broken parts by tightening of the screws. The guide tubes are subsequently withdrawn and the device is detached from the connector plate which remains inside the tissue connected to the bone by the screws.
