Abstract

The bone fixing for a long tubular human or animal bone with a fracture close to one end, comprises two sets of pins (3) inserted into the bone on either side of the fracture, clamps (10) to grip the pins, and articulated joints (60) which enable the clamps to be positioned relative to a rigid linking bar. One jaw of each clamp has a cylindrical bar (50) to co-operate with an articulated joint, the bar lying parallel to the plane of the bone pins and perpendicular to the pins' axes. Each clamp has one jaw (30) in a U-shape with holes through its two legs to receive the end of the bar and equipped with a lock to prevent the bar from rotating. The clamp jaws are made from plastic materials reinforced e.g. with carbon fibres.
