Jaw bone distraction device has separated bone section supported at relative to remainder of jaw bone by threaded pin fitted into anchoring device in bone section and attached to carrier secured to jaw bone

摘要

The device supports a separated bone section (3) at a distance from the remainder of the jaw bone (1), using an anchoring device (10) fixed in an axial bore in the bone section, coupled to a threaded pin (18,20) attached to a carrier (12,14,16) which is secured to the jaw bone. The pin is rotated for adjusting the relative position of the bone section by adjusting the position of the anchoring device relative to the carrier.
