Reduction Instruments Brochure - Stryker

Introduction
Reduction and temporary fixation of
fracture fragments are technically and
mechanically one of the more difficult
parts in Osteosynthesis procedures.
Reduction is the act of restoring the
correct position of the fragments. It
is extremely important in intra- and
peri-articular fractures.
Perfect anatomical reduction reverses
the mechanism of injury which
created the fracture displacement
during the injury. Logically, it calls
for forces and moments in directions
opposite to those which produced the
fracture.
In large bone reduction, traction and
some basic angular and rotational
corrections may be applied using a
fracture table with the disadvantage
that traction must be performed
across at least one joint.

When external reduction is impossible
or insufficient, then the reduction may
need to be performed by ORIF with
exposure of the fracture fragments.
These fragments are manipulated
using various forceps to achieve
perfect restoration of the anatomy.
The newly developed Basic Reduction
Set is designed and equipped with
instruments for the most common
reduction techniques in traumatology.
One instrument case contains a
variety of common forceps and other
instruments required for surgical
reduction and temporary fixation.
The Basic Reduction Set is part of the
Stryker plate and screw family.
The combination of simplicity and
versatility can solve the surgeon’s daily
challenges for quick and accurate
surgical reduction.
