Repositioning Forceps<br />

Pointed forceps are typically<br />

instruments used for direct fracture<br />

reduction.<br />

Using one Forceps<br />

In oblique diaphyseal fractures, one<br />

branch of the forceps is positioned on<br />

each main fragment.<br />

With some pressure and simultaneous<br />

rotation of the handles the bone is<br />

lengthened and the fragments are<br />

reduced.<br />

Using two Forceps<br />

Each fragment is held with a pointed<br />

reduction forceps.<br />

Lengthening is achieved by manual distraction<br />

while proper axial alignment<br />

can be controlled with the two forceps.<br />

Using one Forceps for flat bone<br />

surfaces<br />

The forceps can also be applied directly<br />

to flat bone surfaces or be used with<br />

shallow drill holes<br />
