Abstract:
A connecting rod for an external fixation device may include a telescopic housing having an axial bore, an inner sleeve slidably disposed within the axial bore of the telescopic housing, a fastener operable to releasably couple the inner sleeve and the telescopic housing, an elongated member coupled to the inner sleeve, and two joints. One joint may be coupled to a proximal end of the telescopic housing, and include a rotatable member and a connecting member coupled to the rotatable member, such that the connecting member is operable to receive a connecting element from an external fixation ring. The other joint may be coupled to a distal end of the elongated member, and include a rotatable member and a connecting member coupled to the rotatable member. Each joint may also include a rotatable member housing with one or more sidewall grooves that limit rotation of the respective rotatable members.

Claim (Index 9):
The connecting rod of  claim 1 , wherein the inner sleeve comprises an internally threaded fourth axial bore operable to couple with the elongated member, and wherein the elongated member is operable to translate relative to the inner sleeve about the first lengthwise axis, upon rotation of the elongated member relative to the inner sleeve about the first lengthwise axis.
