A cable sleeve system for bone fixation, comprising a cable, and a sleeve including a head for securing the cable and a piercing portion, wherein the piercing portion projects from a bottom face of the head substantially perpendicularly therefrom, and the head is provided with a bore extending in parallel with the bottom face for securing the cable therein, the head being adapted to be crimped to secure the cable therein. Because the sleeve can be made highly compact, it is possible to avoid undesirable side effects such as hemorrhage and inflammation due to irritations to the human body tissues which occurred frequently in the case of the cable securing method using the conventional cable grip. <IMAGE> |
