The external apparatus for fixing bone fragments consists of a tube-shaped portion, of which the internal space is filled with glass fibre. The fixing tube is secured by means of nails or screws (12) to the bone fragments to be fixed, whereby a rapid hardening material is introduced into the closed tube system after completion of assembly. After setting, a plastic-glass fibre composite is obtained which has excellent strength properties and is ideally suited for use as an external fixation apparatus. |
