Hohmann Retractor<br />
The Hohmann Retractors are part of<br />
the basic soft tissue instruments and<br />
mainly used to retract muscle or other<br />
soft tissues from the surronding of the<br />
bone without injuring or tearing any<br />
soft tissues.<br />
In cortical bone, a small-tipped<br />
Hohmann retractor can be used as a<br />
lever to achieve reduction. The tip of<br />
the retractor is placed between the two<br />
cortices of a diaphyseal fracture. It is<br />
then turned through 180° to engage<br />
the cortex of the opposite fragment.<br />
With a bending force applied by the<br />
retractor, the two cortices can be both<br />
opposed and realigned, allowing gentle<br />
reduction of the fracture.<br />
