Power simulating and measuring device to be used for immediate correction of bones of foot during operation

摘要

The bent lower leg of a patient with a complicated fracture of the bones of his/her foot is fixed between a base (2, 3) positioned under the sole of the foot and comprising the power sensor and a pressure application device (1) to be adjusted with a spindle drive and located above the bent knee. A display integrated in the operating handle shows the level of the forces acting on the bones while the patient is kept in a lying position or is even narcotized. The pressure can be continually adjusted while a correction of the bone position is performed.
