The Osteoclasp, a dynamic compression device for internal stainless steel fixation of bone, has been presented. The historical background of its creation and early experimentation for research and development of the Osteoclasp have been reviewed. Physical properties and dimensions of the Osteoclasp, in combination with instrumentation for implantation, has been presented to educate the reader on proper selection and implantation of the Osteoclasp. Specific indications and contraindications for the Osteoclasp have been discussed. Using proper surgical technique, the Osteoclasp will provide constant dynamic compression across an incomplete fracture to enhance bone healing through primary bone repair. Several case histories illustrate the various uses of the Osteoclasp in the lower extremity. Specific illustrations of improper technique will serve to amplify the necessity of appropriate selection of the Osteoclasp for internal fixation and illustration of proper surgical technique. The Osteoclasp has been, and will continue to be, a viable technique for bone fixation. New surgical techniques and bone fixation devices will continue to evolve and further enhance primary bone healing.
已介绍了骨夹，一种用于骨内不锈钢固定的动态加压装置。回顾了其发明的历史背景以及骨夹研发早期的实验情况。介绍了骨夹的物理特性和尺寸，以及植入器械，以便让读者了解骨夹的正确选择和植入方法。讨论了骨夹的具体适应证和禁忌证。采用适当的手术技术，骨夹将在不完全骨折处提供持续的动态加压，以通过一期骨修复促进骨愈合。几个病例史说明了骨夹在下肢的各种用途。不当技术的具体示例将有助于强调为内固定正确选择骨夹以及说明适当手术技术的必要性。骨夹一直是且将继续是一种可行的骨固定技术。新的手术技术和骨固定装置将不断发展，并进一步促进一期骨愈合。
