ABSTRACT:
A surgical device for clamping a connector plate onto a fractured bone is configured to be inserted into the limb through a small incision in the skin and the tissue. It includes a first member in the form of a hook for gripping the rear surface of the bone and for cutting through muscle and tissue by means of a knife blade forming the back of the hook, and of a screw-threaded bar and handle which extend to the outside of the limb. A second member includes a tube slidingly movable on the bar of the first member, which has its inner end shaped to form a hook for gripping the connector plate. The two hooks are pulled together by a winged nut screwed onto the bar, thereby pressing the plate onto the bone. The hook of the second member may be pivotally attached to it so as to readily fit onto the plate contour.
