Ilizarovs Apparatus
The device is a specialized form of
External fixator, a Circular fixator. Stainless
steel rings are fixed to the bone using K
wires. For more information refer the topic
Ilizarovs technique.
Sequestrum forceps: Used for removal of
sequestrum

SS wire
Is used for internal fixation.
TRACTION INSTRUMENTS
Kirschner wire
This is a thin straight stainless steel wire.
Uses:
For internal fixation of small bones
For giving traction
To fix fractures in children
Used in Ilizarovs fixation system.
Steinmann pin
This is a stout, stainless steel rod, of diameter ranging from
3 to 6 mm
Use: Used for skeletal tractioncommon sites being upper end
of tibia, supracondylar region of femur and calcaneum.
Bohlers Stirrup
Uses
Used for holding a Steinmann pin and applying traction.
The screws on the side of the stirrup are used for holding
the pin.
K-wire stirrup and tensioner
When K wire is used to produce skeletal traction, the strength of
the wire can be increased by subjecting it to an axial tension by
the tensioner.
