Abstract
The present invention has as its object a percutaneous radial pin. A pin, characterized in that it comprises a proximal locking device (2) and a distal locking device (3), is of a non-fixed diameter, and has a different elasticity at its two ends. The invention is most particularly applicable to the area of bone surgery, particularly for the treatment of fractures of long bones and, in particular, of radius fractures.
Claims8
A percutaneous radial pin (1), characterized in that, it is made of an elastic metallic alloy, in that, it has an essentially elongated S-shape and comprises three parts, namely, a first curved part (11) on its proximal quarter, which forms a proximal locking device (2), a second straight part (12), and a supple curved and tapered distal end (13) forming a distal locking device (3), and in that, it has a diameter that decreases along its entire length, that is to say, from the proximal part to the distal part, and has a different elasticity at its two ends, with the double curve, which is due to the S-form, bringing about a fixation at three points of hard contact in the medullar cavity of the radius.
