Abstract
A fracture reduction device comprises linear adjustment means for linearly reducing a fractured bone in three directions, and angular adjustment mechanism for angularly reducing a fractured bone about three independent axes. The adjustment mechanism is such that adjustment in each direction and about each axis is independent of the others. The device also allows stable incremental adjustments to be made to the bone position and/or orientation.
