FIELD: medical engineering; equipment used to treat hip joint pathologies, femur fractures and deformations. SUBSTANCE: proposed apparatus comprises upper support, lower support and, connected with them, circular support, connection being provided by means of reposition-distractive coupling enabling supports to move two- or three- dimensionally. Proposed apparatus eliminates multi-dimensional bone deformations, helps formation of angular femur transformations, helps to align biomechanical axis of femur and of entire lower extremity. EFFECT: broken femur fragments become capable of moving independently relative to each other in different planes. 6 cl, 3 dwg
