TELESCOPIC BODY FOR AN EXTERNAL FIXATION SYSTEM

摘要

A device for external fixation of parts of broken bones, comprising a longitudinal connecting element (1) with a centre axis (7). In the direction of the centre axis, the connecting element (1) is telescopic and torsionally rigid. Jaws (2) for the fixation of bone screws can be detachably arranged on said connecting element (1). The connecting element (1) has a centre part (8) and two outer parts (16; 17) that can be displaced along the centre axis (7). The connecting element (1) can be extended on both sides by means of said displaceable outer parts (16; 17) and has the same diameter lengthwise apart from a small centre piece. The interchangeable centre piece (8) and outer parts (16; 17) render the connecting element (1) selectably rigid.
