Zusammenfassung: | An orthopedic fixation device and method for fixation of fractures of the proximal end of the ulna comprising a first fixation member having an enlarged head and an elongated body having a threaded aperture formed in the mid-portion thereof and a threaded outer portion and a second fixation member comprising an elongated pin or a threaded flexible body having a smooth tapered tip at one end thereof and a head having a groove formed on the outer surface thereof at the opposite end thereof, specifically configured to provide a three point fixation to enhance the compression between the fractured surfaces, and to improve the rigidity and compression of fracture fixation thereby improving bone healing. |
