摘要

89-5021 IMPROVED COLLES' FRACTURE SPLINT An improved splint is described for setting a Colles' fracture. The splint includes first, second and third elements connected together. A metacarpal bar is carried on the first element and is movable therealong. The metacarpal bar can be attached to a bone of a patient on one side of a bone fracture. The second element is pivotally mounted on one end of the first element for movement about an axis which forms an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the first element. The third element is pivotally mounted on the second element for movement about an axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second element. The third element is attached to the bone of a patient on the opposite side of the bone fracture.
