CA 2226914

The invention provides a dynamic external fixator, including an elongate body having an axial bore accommodating, in a first portion thereof, at least part of a first member of a universal joint and, in a second portion thereof, a linear guide element, a first arm having an end portion carrying the second member of said universal joint. The arm is provided with a plurality of apertures for the traversing therethrough of bone pins. There is also provided a second arm integral with, or fixedly attached to, a member of the guide element and provided with a plurality of apertures for the traversing therethrough of bone pins, and a spring accommodated in the axial bore of the body and bearing, on the one hand, against the first member of the universal joint and, on the other, at least indirectly, against the guide element, thereby opposing forces acting on the second arm.

L'invention concerne un fixateur externe dynamique, constitué d'un corps de forme allongé présentant un alésage axial servant à recevoir, dans une première portion, au moins une partie d'un premier élément d'un joint articulé et, dans une seconde portion, un élément de guidage linéaire; d'une première branche dotée d'une portion d'extrémité destinée à porter le second élément du joint articulé, cette branche étant pourvue d'une pluralité d'ouvertures destinées au passage traversant de broches d'ancrage osseux; d'une seconde branche, monobloc avec une portion de l'élément de guidage, ou assujettie à celle-ci, et pourvue d'une pluralité d'ouvertures destinées au passage traversant de broches d'ancrage osseux; ainsi que d'un ressort, logé dans l'alésage axial du corps et s'appuyant, d'une part, contre le premier élément du joint articulé et, d'autre part, au moins indirectement, contre l'élément de guidage, s'opposant ainsi aux forces s'exerçant sur la seconde branche.
