PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an externally fixing device adjustable to a certain degree by a patient itself. SOLUTION: The externally fixing device for widening the distance between two tightening members of an external fixing tool has a central inner rod 4 and an external hollow housing 5. The inner rod is movable in the axial direction. One end of the inner rod 4 protrudes exceeding one end of the housing 5 and serves to fix one tightening member. An adjusting member 10 is arranged on the other end of the housing 5, and is connected to the inner rod 4 and/or the external hollow housing 5. Thereby, the axial direction position of an inner shaft can be adjusted in relation to the housing by rotation of the adjusting member 10. Furthermore, an adjusting knob capable of being detachably mounted to the adjusting member in the state essentially securely fitted is disposed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
