Abstract:
1. A bone fracture reduction system comprising a frame that is sized and configured to support a body region having a bone fracture a first reduction mechanism on the frame that is sized and configured to apply to the bone fracture a first mechanical force vector that moves the bone fracture into alignment in a first anatomic orientation, including a mechanism that is sized and configured to mechanically interact with the first reduction mechanism to maintain a desired alignment in the first anatomic orientation, and a second reduction mechanism on the frame that is sized and configured to apply to the bone fracture, independent of the application of the first mechanical force vector, a second mechanical force vector that moves the bone fracture into alignment in a second anatomic orientation different than the first anatomic orientation, including a mechanism that is sized and configured to mechanically interact with the second reduction mechanism to maintain a desired alignment in the second anatomic orientation and further including an orthotic that is sized and configured to be assembled on the body region about the bone fracture, and wherein the frame includes a carrier for the orthotic either partially or fully assembled on the body region.
