A fracture fixation system 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 58, 70 for a fractured bone having at least two bone fragments is disclosed. The fracture fixation system 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 58, 70 includes an orthopaedic implant 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 60, 71, an engaging member 12, 22, 32, 43, 45, 52, 62, 72 adapted to gain purchase in at least one bone fragment, and means for applying a force to the engaging member such that the at least two bone fragments are placed in compression and prevented from rotating relative to the orthopaedic implant. The engaging member 12, 22, 32, 43, 45, 52, 62, 72 is disposed relative to the orthopaedic implant 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 60, 71. The orthopaedic implant 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 60, 71 may take the form of an intramedullary device, a compression plate, or a deployable material.
L'invention concerne un système de fixation de fracture 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 58, 70 pour un os fracturé ayant au moins deux fragments osseux. Le système de fixation de fracture 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 58, 70 comprend un implant orthopédique 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 60, 71, un élément d'engagement 12, 22, 32, 43, 45, 52, 62, 72 conçu pour prendre appui dans au moins un fragment osseux, et un moyen pour appliquer une force à l'élément d'engagement, de telle sorte que les deux fragments osseux sont placés en compression et ne peuvent pas tourner par rapport à l'implant orthopédique. L'élément d'engagement 12, 22, 32, 43, 45, 52, 62, 72 est disposé par rapport à l'implant orthopédique 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 60, 71. L'implant orthopédique 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 60, 71 peut prendre la forme d'un dispositif intramédullaire, d'une plaque de compression ou d'un matériau qui peut être déployé.
