| Abstract: | A device used for temporary fracture fixation and primary fracture compression, intended for the optimal application of a fracture compression-fixation device, the X plate,1,2 is described. The instrument permits the lengthwise decrease of a fracture gap of up to 5 mm. This usually exceeds the clinical needs for fracture compression. The fracture holder has been used in the treatment of forearm shaft fractures and osteotomies in four recent cases. Gradual developments of the device are described. |
