ABSTRACT:
A pair of pivotally attached handles are normally displaced away from each other via a spring biasing arrangement, and are displaced toward each other as by squeezing the handles against the spring bias. A wire or pin is introduced into a fixed fracture or osteotomy and an end thereof is received in an angled slot at an operating portion of one of the handles so that when the handles are squeezed against the spring bias the operating portions of both of the handles cooperate to bend the wire or pin to prevent migration or skin puncture, as the case may be.
