A DEVICE FOR THE EXTERNAL FIXATION OF BONE FRAGMENTS ABSTRACT The device for the external (outside of the patient's body) fixation of bone fragments in the surgi- cal treatment of fractures uses a unitary supporting bar which, particularly in the case of shin-bone fractures, is positioned on the front side with a very close spac- ing from the bone and, for reasons of X-ray diagnosis, with a slight lateral displacement. The use of a system of standard jaws, single-correction and multi-correction jaws and bridging jaws, and the thus facilitated surgi- cal operation techniques, provide for mechanically highly stable fixation of the bone fragments being particularly careful as far as traumatizing is con- cerned, and being particularly favourable with respect to the physical and psychic restraint to the patient during the period in which the device is applied, and with respect to the cosmetic success upon convalescence. Due to a high degree of standardization, the system of the jaws combines cost-reducing manufacture with un- complicated surgical operation techniques and with all possibilities for necessary corrective measures; the system favours both careful application and cosmetic success.
