A system for anatomical reduction of bone fractures (2011)
Patent
Dogramadzi, S., Raabe, D., & Atkins, R. (2011). A system for anatomical reduction of bone fractures. 1115586.8

For optimum healing of bone fractures in the human body, to ensure that the bone and surrounding joints are able to function correctly again, the fragments of the broken bone must be subjected to an anatomical reduction, which involves positioning an...
