<p>Universal linear orthopedic device for external setting of fractures, light in weight, radio transparent, amagnetic and electrically non-conductive. It comprises at least one solid rigid rod (1) having transversal holes for the passage of pins (4) screwed into the bone on either side of the fracture site and firmly attached to the pins (4) by fixing means. Two types of fixing means for fixing the pin (4) to the rod (1) are provided: setting inserts and clamping collars (5) with blocking means. In an alternative embodiment, the solid rigid rod (1) consists of two solid longitudinal half-rods with notches for the pins and held together by clamping collars (5). In an assembly with several rods (1,1'), the rods (1,1') are attached by coupling collars (5').</p> |
