Murphy-Lane Bone Levers

Description

Murphy-Lane Bone Levers

The Murphy-Lane bone lever is a long, heavy instrument for moving large bones. At 33 cm, it gives strong leverage for hip and femur work.

Long for leverage

A longer lever multiplies the force of the hand. Therefore large fragments shift with less effort. Furthermore, the robust body resists bending under load.

Typical uses

Surgeons use it to lift the femoral head during hip work. It also helps reduce large shaft fractures. In addition, it can lever the femur forward during exposure.

Who uses the Murphy-Lane bone lever

Hip, trauma and joint replacement surgeons use it. It suits large adult bones best. Smaller patients may need a shorter lever.

Handling safely

Place the tip under direct vision before applying force. Then lever gradually while watching bone and soft tissue. Avoid sudden jerks.

Protecting the bone

Heavy levers can crush thin cortex if used carelessly. Therefore place the tip on firm bone and spread the force. Also, avoid using the lever as a hammer or pry bar on fragile fragments.
