Periosteal elevator
used to elevate periosteum or muscle from bone, often for placement of a bone implant
Rongeurs
-sharp cupped tip
-used to break up small pieces of bone that are then packed around fracture site to encourage healing
Bone-cutting forceps
-similar to rongeurs
-have paired chisel-like tips
Bone holding forceps
-designed to hold bone fragments together while implants are placed
curettes
used to scrape hard tissue, such as bone or cartilage
osteotome
-used to cut bone by pounding on the flat proximal end with a mallet
-tapered on both sides
chisel
-used to cut bone by pounding on proximal end with a mallet
-tapered on only one side
gigli wire
-use to cut bone
-t-shaped handles hook onto wire for better grip
trephine
-removes core of bone for biopsy
-T-shaped, reusable
Jamshidi needle
-removes core of bone for biopsy
-single use, disposable
Bone pin
-vary in: diameter, length, type of point
-Steinmann pin: placed in medullary cavity to stabilize fractured bone
-Kirschner wire: K-wire
interlocking nails
-similar to IM pins
-preplaced holes through pin allowing for screw placement
orthopedic wire
-AKA: cerclage wire
-typically used with: IM pins, Bone plates
external fixator
fractures are stabilized using pins placed horizontally through bone with connecting bar placed outside the body
Bone screws
2 designs
-CORTICAL: fully threaded screws that are designed for dense (cortical) bone
-CANCELLOUS: partially or fully threaded, made with wider threads. provide better grip in softer cancellous bone
bone plate
-they are fastened to the bone with bone screws for fixation and stabilization
-must be bent to match the curve of the bone
total hip prosthesis
-used to replace hip joint in case of severe degeneration
