Lane Bone Levers

Description

Lane Bone Levers

The Lane bone lever is a strong, 25 cm instrument for moving bone. Surgeons use it to lever fracture ends back into alignment.

A fracture surgery classic

William Arbuthnot Lane was an early champion of internal fixation. Several fracture tools carry the Lane name, including this lever. Also, it gives the leverage needed to coax bone ends together.

How it works

The tip slips under or between fragments. Then the surgeon lifts or pries to bring them into line. As a result, the ends meet and fixation can begin.

Who uses the Lane bone lever

Trauma surgeons use it on long-bone fractures. Also, it helps during osteotomies when bone must shift. Additionally, it pairs with Lane bone holding forceps.

Controlled force

Use slow, steady pressure rather than sudden force. Otherwise thin bone may crack. Therefore check the fragments often as they move.

Lever and forceps together

Reduction often needs both a lever and a clamp. First, the lever brings the ends into line. Then a bone holding forceps keeps them there while the plate goes on.
