[The characteristics of the technical instrumental support for the osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures using the Seppo fixator]. / Osobennosti tekhniko-instrumental'nogo obespecheniia osteosinteza perelomov sheiki bedra fiksatorom Seppo.

Operative treatment of fractures of the femur neck is the method of choice. The authors prefer the A. Seppo construction out of great number of fixtures but it is difficult to introduce and remove this fixture due to its complexity. To make the procedure of such interventions easier the authors propose a marking device, a screwdriver and a device allowing the fixture's curvature to be regulated. The modification of the technique and using a specially developed extractor is explained by difficulties in removing the fixture by common methods. The variant of the improved instrumental tooling proposed by the authors makes the operation more handy and practicable.
