Definitions

• the invention relates more particularly to the reduction and fixation of fractures of the upper end of the femur, without excluding other bone ends.
• osteosynthesis solutions can be considered. Mention may be made, for example, of pins, nails and plates arranged to receive a cephalic screw.
• the invention relates more particularly, the plates
• these plates have a shaped support portion to be fixed at the level of the diaphysis of the bone.
• the upper end of the support part has a hollow hollow sleeve, also known as a barrel. This barrel is oriented angularly with respect to the support part and receives the cephalic screw.
• the barrel and the support part constitute a monobloc element.
• the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks in a simple, safe, efficient and rational manner.
• the assembly comprises in combination, in a modular and interchangeable manner:
• the end of the plate has angularly, a centering surface shaped to receive with locking capacity in translation and in rotation, a coupling sleeve .
• the centering surface is constituted by a conical bore cooperating with a complementary conical surface, formed at one of the ends of the sleeve.
• Holding the viewfinder in your hand is not very precise. If the aiming is carried out incorrectly, that is to say when the aiming angle does not exactly correspond to the angle formed between the barrel and the support plate, the latter cannot be applied against the diaphysis femoral. Yes despite everything, we want to apply the plate to the diaphysis, the barrel is subjected to a reaction force which acts in a harmful way on the fracture site.
• a device which comprises a viewfinder equipped with an angularly orientable block, arranged to receive according to different positions, an aiming pin to determine the axis of the neck, said viewfinder being held in position by a spacer device cooperating with the faces of the bone and the soft parts.
• the viewfinder comprises a base on which is mounted with the ability to move in translation and adjust in position, a support receiving the orientable block mounted with the ability to adjust the angle on two profiled arms. in an arc.

• the conical centering surface (2a) is either formed in coaxial alignment with the body (2b) of the sleeve (2), or angularly offset relative to the body ( Figures 1 and 3).
• the angulation between the bearing surface (2a) and the body (2b) can be 3 °, 6 ° and 10 °.
• the angulation between the centering surface (1 b) and the plate (1) is of the order of 130 °, corresponding to the anatomical angle between the major axis of the neck and the external side of the femur.
• each of said sleeves (2) has a lug ( 2c) intended to cooperate with arrangements formed at the end of said centering surface (1b).

• the viewfinder (4) comprises a base (4a) on which is mounted with capacity for movement in translation and for position adjustment, a support (4b).
• the support (4b) is mounted to slide freely in the base (4a) by a dovetail system, while a screw (6), engaged in a lumen of said support, ensures the locking in translation .
• an orientable block (4c) On the support (4b) is mounted an orientable block (4c) arranged to receive at different positions, an aiming rod (7) to determine the axis of the neck.
• the block (4c) is articulated at the end of the support (4b) and cooperates with two arms profiled in an arc (4d) while being angularly blocked therein in a corresponding lumen, by means of a system 5 quote.
• the block (4c) has a series of holes (4c1) arranged in alignment, but offset angularly relative to the perpendicular plane passing through the major axis of the viewfinder.
• the holes (4c1) are offset by + 5 °, + 10 °, - 5 °, - 10 °.

• each of the wings has, overflowing their internal faces, pins (5c3) intended to grip the bone.

• a pin is placed in the hole (O) of the block, while an image intensifier makes it possible to check whether the point of penetration of the pin is correct. If it is too high, the base is moved back relative to the support.
• the spindle After having correctly determined the penetration orifice, the spindle is pushed in, following it to the amplifier. If the front axis is not perfect, we change the angulation of the blade holder and we then know the new anguiation. After checking the spindle from the front, the amplifier checks the profile position. If the spindle is not strictly in the axis of the neck, it is removed and placed at + 5 or - 5 ° in ( fe orientable block. Since the plane of the spindle is stationary, any aiming of + 10 ° to - 10 ° is necessarily perfect on the face.
