DISPOSABLE EXTERNAL SELF-RETAINING AND STRESSED FIXATOR ESPECIALLY FOR FIXING LARGE TUBULAR BONES FRACTURED DUE TO TRAUMATIC LESIONS

摘要

A disposable external fixator includes a rod and pins insertable therethrough and insertable into a fractured bone for fixation. The rod includes equidistantly spaced and aligned bores and ends provided with threads. The diameter of the bores is larger than the diameter of the pins. The fixator also includes two stretching tubes of relatively soft material slidably mountable onto the ends of the rod and having bores corresponding to the bores of the rod. Internally threaded closing pieces are screwable onto the threaded ends of the rod to axially displace the stretching tubes relative to the rod.
