Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9716128A1] The modular external fixation system can be used in orthopedics and traumatology in the treatment of traumae and deformations of various parts of the locomotory system for the building of external fixation devices used in reposition, fixation and traction. The system consists of supporting elements - one piece and adjustable, with circular section and a riffled external surface, jet comprising modular coupling elements for coupling supporting elements or coupling a supporting element to implants, in addition to that comprising a flat coupling element with holes in which can be mounted modular coupling elements for building ties with flat reciprocally arrangement of the supporting elements. Each modular coupling element has a stepped body with holes and ring bodies with slits, both manufactured from materials with different rigidity.
