Clinical Application
This extension bow is intended as a modular accessory for K-wire (Kirschner wire) external fixation constructs. It provides a compact, rigid offset and attachment point that helps maintain reduction, control alignment, and permit controlled distraction or stabilization of small bones and peri-articular fractures—commonly used in hand, wrist, distal radius, foot and pediatric applications where a small-footprint external frame is required.
Design & Configuration
The bow geometry creates an accessible offset from the skin and soft tissue, allowing fixation clamps and connecting elements to be positioned without impinging on wound dressings or tendon gliding zones. The 105 x 105 mm overall dimension provides a compact square footprint suitable for short-span constructs and fine adjustment while still delivering enough leverage for stable fixation. Its shape facilitates bridging of small joints and linking multiple K-wires into a unified external frame.
