Abstract

Orthopaedic fracture apparatus involving adjustable assemblies of rods (50) and coupling mechanisms (40) connected to different parts of a fractured bone whereby the bone can be manipulated to and stabilised in a desired configuration. The invention provides, for such apparatus, coupling mechanisms each including a pair of clamps (41, 42) which are independently operable, rigidly interconnected, and have guides (45) to secure rods and the like in mutually perpendicular directions whereby manipulation can be effected selectively in mutually perpendicular planes by loosening corresponding first clamps or second clamps of these couplings. The geometry of the remainder of the apparatus should be appropriate to this function. For this purpose one form of bone pin connection assembly clamps a set of pins (20) in a parallel coplanar array and has an orthogonal post (35) for a coupling mechanism (40) and another form of such connection assembly involves a curved plate conforming to a limb and with mutually perpendicular tubular projections from its convex surface, these projections serving as pin guide/clamp sleeves and coupling posts. <IMAGE>
