摘要：An orthopaedic frame for the correction of bodily deformities has axially-spaced first and second mounting rings (1, 2) which can be connected to longitudinally-spaced portions of bone in a conventional way. An arrangement of main length-adjustable struts (3, 4, 5, 6) connects the rings together. The struts (3, 4, 5, 6) are joined to the mounting rings (1, 2) at pivoting connections (A-H) which restrict the pivoting movement to a single pivoting plane. Adjustment of the relative angular disposition of the two mounting rings (1, 2) can be made only in this plane, and is locked after adjustment e.g by length-adjustable locking struts (9, 10) extending obliquely. By adopting this uniplanar pivoting action a simple construction and use are achieved, while enabling a large range of corrective re-alignments.
