Assembly for minimally invasive reduction of hip fracture

摘要

An assembly (50) for use in the treatment of a bone fracture includes a holder (56) having a first arm (76) and a second arm (78). The holder (56) can be moved between a first configuration and a second configuration. The assembly includes an actuator (58) movable in relation to the holder (56) between a first position and a second position. Movement of the actuator (58) from the first position to the second position causes movement of the holder (56) from the first configuration to the second configuration. The first arm (76) has a first bone plate contact portion (80), and the second arm (78) has a second bone plate contact portion (82). The first bone plate contact portion (80) and the second bone plate contact portion (82) are separated by a first distance when the holder is in the first configuration. The first bone plate contact portion (80) and the second bone plate contact portion (82) are separated by a second distance when the holder (56) is in the second configuration. The first distance is greater than the second distance. The assembly (50) includes a bone plate (6) having a plurality of fastener openings defined therein. The holder (56) retains the bone plate (6) between the first bone plate contact portion (80) of the first arm (76) and second bone plate contact portion (82) of the second arm (78) when the holder (56) is positioned in the second configuration.
