ABSTRACT:
The proposed apparatus for surgical treatment of bone fractures and diseases comprises two pairs of needles each of which is to be driven through one of the bone fragments being aligned. Each pair of needles is secured in at least one brace so that each pair of needles and the brace define a rigid system to be secured on the respective bone fragment. The two rigid systems are interconnected by distractors. Accordingly, the end of the distractors are fastened to sliders moving in mutually perpendicular guide slots formed in the opposite braces belonging to different rigid systems.
The apparatus of the invention permits repositioning bone fragments and effecting compression thereof both lengthwise in transverse fractures and laterally in oblique and spiral fractures.
