  • Patent number: 9113969
    Abstract: A bone fixation system that may be configured to move at least one of a first bone segment and a second bone segment relative to the other, is disclosed. The system may include a first lever and a second lever pivotally coupled to the first lever. The first lever may include a first handle, a first jaw extending from the first handle, and an aperture extending through the first jaw. The aperture may be configured to receive a fixation element to thereby fixedly couple the first lever to a bone plate. The second lever may include a second handle, a second jaw extending from the second handle, and an aperture extending through the second jaw. The aperture may be configured to receive a temporary fixation element to operatively couple the second lever to the second bone segment.

  • Publication number: 20130345762
    Abstract: A device for reducing a bone fracture includes (a) a first arm extending from a handle at a proximal end to a distal end having a first substantially spherical tip; (b) a second arm extending from a handle at a proximal end to a distal end having a second substantially spherical tip, the second arm is pivotally connected to the first arm; and (c) an insert removably attachable to the first or second tips. The insert includes a connection mechanism lockingly engaging the first or second spherical tips. Also, the insert includes a first face sized and shaped to be seated over a target portion of skin in an operative configuration. The first face has a first substantially planar portion and a second substantially curved portion attached thereto. The first and second portions define a contour conforming to a contour of skin's target portion.
