Abstract
A fixture is configured to provide external fixation of a fractured distal radius by including a first number of holes for pins extending downward from the fixture into one or more bone fragments and a second number of holes for pins extending downward from the fixture into the shank of the radius. The fixture also includes a sliding block through which rods extend to hold pins directed laterally into the fragment(s). A sliding plate including a number of holes aligned with the first number of holes is moved by a pair of setscrews to clamp the pins extending through the first number of holes. The second number of holes includes a hole within a sliding structure allowing a single pin to be moved with a fixture to provide extension between the fragments and the shank of the radius.
