EXTERNAL FIXATION APPARATUS FOR TREATING THE CASES OF PELVIC BONES FRACTURE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has hollow rod having two telescopic parts enclosed one into the other by means of feed screw having members for fixing threaded rods screws on each of them engageable with pelvic bones. One of the members is spring-loaded in axial direction. The device has at least one additional rod mounted on in parallel to and at some distance from the main rod, the additional rod being extensible by means of power mechanism having two half-rods one of which is connected to the main rod by means of two holders coaxially arranged in perpendicular to longitudinal axes of both rods allowing rotation relative to each other and fastened to each other to prevent from axial displacement with locking member. Threaded rods engageable with femur are fixed on the second half-rod. Each holder has transverse opening for setting into it the main and additional rod fixed in holders with clamps, respectively.
