ABSTRACT:
Wires are employed for the setting of fractured bones, or for stabilization of bones making up a joint. A portion of the wire protrudes from at least one of the bone segments and, to prevent movement or loss of these wires, and to prevent injury to surrounding tissue, other persons, or clothing, by the exposed ends, caps are provided which are easily secured to the ends and graspable for removal of the wire, when desired. In some cases, the ends of the wire may protrude through the skin and the caps are attached externally.
