Bohler Extension Bow 21x11cm

Clinical Application

This bow-shaped extension is used as a structural component within Bohler-style traction and external fixation assemblies. It provides a rigid, cantilevered mounting point to apply and maintain longitudinal traction, aid fracture reduction and stabilization, and preserve alignment during intraoperative manipulation or temporary external fixation. The geometry is useful when additional span or clearance is required between pin clamps, rod connectors or traction apparatus in upper- and lower-extremity procedures.

Design & Configuration

The curved "bow" configuration delivers a combination of reach and rigidity, allowing controlled transfer of tensile loads from the fixation construct to the limb while minimizing interference with soft tissues and surgical access. The 21x11 cm footprint supplies a moderate span suitable for common clinical setups where additional offset or extension is needed between components. A simple, low-profile form factor facilitates rapid assembly into existing Bohler-style frames and straightforward handling during adjustment.
