| Zusammenfassung: | A bone fixation device comprising a threaded wire 4 which extends through a hole drilled in pieces 2,3 of bone to be joined at a break 1, and on which are threaded a pair of nuts 5,6. The nuts are generally T-shaped, having a head portion 7 and a shank portion 8. In use, the nuts 5,6 are threaded towards one another so that the shank portions are tight within the hole and the head portions bear against the outside surface of the bone 2,3 and thus keep the wire 4 in tension. |
