Lowman-Hoglund Bone Holding Clamps

Description

Lowman-Hoglund Bone Holding Clamps

The Lowman-Hoglund bone clamp grips long bones during reduction and plating. Three lengths suit different bone sizes.

A Lowman variant

It keeps the secure grip of the Lowman family. Meanwhile, the Hoglund changes adapt the jaws. Besides, the result is a dependable holding clamp.

Three lengths

Choose 18, 20 or 23 cm. Shorter clamps suit the forearm. Longer ones suit the tibia and femur.

Who uses the Lowman-Hoglund bone clamp

It appears on femur and tibia plating trays. Moreover, it keeps bone aligned during osteotomy. Furthermore, it suits revision work.

Clamping technique

Place the clamp across the reduced fracture. Then tighten gradually. Check alignment before drilling.

Keeping alignment

Once set, the clamp holds without an assistant. Consequently, drilling and screw placement become more accurate. Remove the clamp last.

Why surgeons choose it

Some surgeons prefer the jaw shape of the Hoglund version. Consequently, they reach for it on curved or tapered bone. Others keep it alongside the Lambert-Lowman.

Lowman-Hoglund upkeep

Debris in the adjuster makes the clamp stiff. So flush it well, dry it and apply lubricant. Afterward, test the full range of travel.
