A Novel Approach to Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures Utilizing a Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Traction and Stabilization Device by Oeding, Jacob F., Bockman, Sam, Chiu, Harriet, Hua, Cheyenne, Connor, James, Slocum, Alexander

“…Reduction is achieved by the surgeon pulling and manipulating the hand while looking at real-time X-rays, and frequently requires large forces to distract impacted fragments from the proximal bone. This study presents the design and preliminary testing of a multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) device capable of performing both distraction and reduction of fractured bone fragments using a traction splint mechanism with locking ball joints. …”
