Abstract
The proposed apparatus for drawing together and fixing the pelvic halves on pubic symphysis ruptures comprises a U-shaped frame whereof the ends carry elastic members designated to cooperate with the patient's body. The elastic members are rotatably mounted and adapted to move toward each other. The elastic members are moved toward each other and caused to exert a required compressive force on the patient's body by means of servos coupled to a power source.
