摘要

An apparatus for reducing a fracture in a bone and attaching a plate to the bone includes a first sub-assembly configured to reduce the fracture, and a second sub-assembly integrated with said first sub-assembly in a single surgical instrument. The second sub-assembly is configured to hold the plate against the bone concurrently with reduction of the fracture by the first sub-assembly.
