The present invention is directed to a device for fixation of a bone fracture. The device comprises at least one distal pin having a mounting end for insertion on a distal side of the fracture, at least one proximal pin having a mounting end for insertion on a proximal side of the fracture, a distal member attached to the distal pins, a proximal member attached to the proximal pins and slideably connected to the distal member for reducing or distracting the bone fracture, a distraction assembly for controlling the movement between the proximal and distal members, and a removable engagement element. The distraction assembly has two modes of operation: an active configuration and an inactive configuration. In the active configuration, incremental relative sliding movement between the proximal and distal members is allowed, and, in the inactive configuration, free relative sliding movement between the proximal and distal members is allowed. The engagement element operatively engages the distraction assembly in the inactive configuration. Removal of the engagement element places the distraction assembly in the active configuration.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une fracture de l'os comprenant au moins une articulation distale présentant une extrémité de montage destinée à être introduite sur le côté distal de la fracture, au moins une articulation proximale présentant une extrémité de montage destinée à être introduite sur le côté proximal de la fracture, un élément distal fixé aux articulations distales, un élément proximal fixé aux articulations proximales et relié par glissement à l'élément distal en vue de la réduction ou de la distraction de la fracture de l'os, un ensemble de distraction permettant de commander le mouvement entre les éléments proximal et distal et un élément de contact amovible. L'ensemble de distraction peut être à l'état actif ou inactif. A l'état actif, est assuré le mouvement coulissant relatif incrémentiel entre les éléments proximal et distal et à l'état inactif, est assuré le mouvement coulissant relatif libre entre les éléments distal et proximal. L'élément de contact est introduit dans l'ensemble de distraction à l'état inactif. Le retrait de cet élément fait passer l'ensemble de distraction à l'état actif.
