Abstract:
1. A bone fracture reduction system comprising: a patient platform that is sized and configured to support an individual having a bone fracture; a mechanical bone fracture reduction fixture that is sized and configured to be conveyed separate from the patient platform, the mechanical bone fracture reduction fixture including a mount to join the fixture to the patient platform to support the bone fracture for reduction by the mechanical bone fracture reduction fixture and, after a reduction of the fracture is achieved, to separate the fixture from the patient platform; a mechanical guidance mechanism sharing a common frame with the mechanical bone fracture reduction fixture, the mechanical guidance mechanism being sized and con inured to guide placement of one or more bone fixing devices to fix the reduction of the fracture; a guide bushing that is sized and configured to be joined to the mechanical guidance mechanism to form a path for the one or more bone fixing devices; and packaging that maintains the guide bushing in a sterile condition prior to being joined to the mechanical guidance mechanism, wherein the mount joins the common frame to the patient platform for fracture reduction by the mechanical bone fracture reduction fixture and fixing by the mechanical guidance mechanism and, after fracture reduction and fixing are achieved, to separate the common frame from the patient platform.
