  • Patent number: 4361144
    Abstract: An external compression frame for the treatment of fractures of the pelvis comprising four bars so interconnected that they form a trapezoidal square. The frame, positioned in an upright position, comprises two vertical and two horizontal bars, connected to each other with articulations. The vertical two bars extend beyond the fastening points of the square to form the part of the frame which is intended for anchoring of the device into the pelvis. The upper horizontal bar has a predetermined length, whereas the lower horizontal bar is adjustable as to its length. By adjusting the length of the lower bar, the angle between the vertical bars may be regulated in such a way, that compression force is exerted on the pelvis, thereby bringing the fractured detached parts firmly together.
