For application in smaller long bones such as the distal radius, and humerus.
Shown here as a typical construction for the treatment of wrist fractures, the aluminium components of the system are anodised in a distinctive green colour. The dynamic flexion device is mounted, but in a closed (straight,
locked) position and the connecting pin blocks are mounted for a unilateral pin insertion configuration.
The carbon rod of the FIXUS 33 is 19.5 cm in lenght and remains constant regardless of the setting of the dynamic flexion device.
The FIXUS 33 is a highly flexible, lightweight system specially designed for the minor long bone applications. Incorporation of the dynamic flexion devide makes the frame particularly suitable for wrist fractures, whereby a normal degree of wrist joint movement is attainable (0 to 30°) during treatment and the occurrence of post treatment joint stiffness is avoided.
Only one product specific tool is required to assemble or adjust the osteotaxic frame and the use of 2-3.2 mm pins is anticipated.
