Definitions
- This invention relates to a skeletal traction clamp by which a bone is gripped for traction purposes, in the course of orthopaedic surgery.
- BACKGROUND OF TH E INVENTION Conventional practice in the treatment of relatively long bones such as a tibia or a femur has involved the use of transosseous pins or wires adapted to be passed transversely through the bone, via which pins or wires traction forces mav be transmitted to the bone
- transosseous pins or wires adapted to be passed transversely through the bone, via which pins or wires traction forces mav be transmitted to the bone
- a basic object of the present invention is the provision of an improved skeletal traction
- a skeletal traction clamp comprising
- a screw threaded pin having at an inner end a nose adapted to engage a bone and the
- pin being manually adjustable inwardly and outwardly, with the pin support being located at an
- the clamp in accordance with the invention is applied to a bone with the two pins screwed inwardly until the device satisfactorily engages the bone, either with no penetration of the cortex or possibly with some minimal penetration, as penetration of the cortex is largely inconsequential in the case of a bone such as a tibia 01 femur, with the engagement of course being satisfactory to transmit to the bone the particular level of traction loading that an orthopaedic surgeon wishes to apply
- the support ring inside profile of the support ring is ti uly cnculai , whilst the support ring may be of non-constant thickness, being foi example of enlaiged thickness ovei a middle zone between the arms of the
