<p>The invention relates to a clamping element for setting a bone fracture, comprising a flexible and substantially non-plastically deformable continuous loop (1), inside which at least two fixing means (20), preferably cortical screws, can be pushed through, and an extension element (3) of alterable length that can be inserted into and is expandable inside the continuous loop (1) in such a manner that in order to enable the extension element (3) to apply forces to the fixing means (20), said forces being directed towards each other, a predetermined tensile stress can be generated over the circumference of the continuous loop (1). The invention also relates to a setting device for use of the clamping element.</p> |
