Zusammenfassung:A bone correcting system which includes a first pin which can be connected to a bone at a first location; at least a second pin which can be connected to the bone at a second location at a distance from the first location; a telescopic fixation member which is coupled rigidly to the first and second pins for the purpose of fixing the mutual distance between the pins during the hardening phase, and which is coupled flexibly to the first and the second pins during a correction phase; and at least a first annular fixation member which is removably connected to the first pin and at least a second annular fixation member which is removably connected to the second pin for the purpose of adjusting the bone during the correction phase. This system provides an efficient, user-friendly and simple system for correcting bones, particularly in respect to bone hardening.
