Abstract

A device for osteosynthesis of bones by intra-marrowial fixation includes a tube (2) made of a non-elastic material, adapted to be inserted into the marrow cavity of a bone (1), one end (2') being sealed, and the other end being open, and a connection part (13), comprising a fixation part (4) designed to be inserted into the tube (2) for the fixation of the tube (2) in a hole of the bone (1), and a vent part (12) designed to be inserted into the fixation part (4) and for a tight connection therewith, and including a connection (8) for a line (14) for introducing a pressurized biologically inert liquid (10) into the tube (2) and releasing it therefrom, and a valve (9) for opening and closing the liquid passage through the vent. The tube (2) is filled with a biologically unobjectionable sterilizable liquid (10), for example water, gelatin solution or dextran solution, under a pressure of 200 to 1000 kPa.
