| Abstract | The present invention relates to a craniofacial fracture reduction assembly which is disclosed, the assembly providing a surgeon with precise control over the surgical reduction of fractured craniofacial bone pieces. The fracture reduction assembly may include a reduction platform and. a threaded fragment manipulator. The reduction platform has top and bottom surfaces and at least one receiving hole in communication therewith. The receiving hole is configured to accept a fragment manipulator. The fragment manipulator may comprise an elongated member having a bone engaging portion for engaging a targeted fractured bone piece and a center threaded portion. Working in combination with a reduction nut, the fragment manipulator provides accurate control over the fragment reduction vector. In use, the bone engaging end of th~ fragment manipulator is inserted through the receiving hole in the reduction platform and then into the fracture region where it engages the targeted fractured bone piece. Thereafter a reduction nut is threaded onto the non-engaged end of the fragment manipulator until the nose of the nut contacts the reduction platform. (fig.! ) |
