ABSTRACT:
A universal device for supporting bones and surgery tools in orthopaedic surgery consists of two rods supporting two spaced bone/tool holders installed in alignment to each other on opposite ends of the rods. The holders have V-shaped prisms with adjustable yokes for securing the broken bone part or a drilling tool in the respective prisms with a drill arranged coaxially to the facing bone part. One bone/tool holder is rigidly fixed to the rods, while the second holder slides relative to the fixed holder. The moveable holder is fixed between the nuts, e.g., for holding the parts of the broken bone in butt connection for growing together naturally. As compared to the known device of the same type, the device of the invention is light in weight, more universal in use, and is more simple in construction.
