<p>The invention relates to an external fixator apparatus (1) of the ring type for stabilizing bone fractures, comprising at least one pair of rings (6,7), of which one (6) is proximal and the other (7) is distal, and at least one tie rod (8,9,10) interconnecting the rings (6,7) to each other. According to the invention, said at least one rod (8,9,10) is split into two rod sections (11,12) connected together by a joint (21). In particular, the joint (21) comprises a pivot mount (22) having a predetermined axis (x-x) for the angular displacement of the rod sections (11,12), and comprises a sliding mount (23) according to a predetermined sliding direction (y-y) for offsetting the rod sections (11,12). <IMAGE></p> |
