Upper Limb Fracture Instrument Set
An upper limb fracture instrument set with T-shape taps, curved reduction forceps, a drill guide and plate bender, used in orthopaedic fixation of the arm.
This upper limb fracture instrument set is built for the fixation surgery an orthopaedic surgeon carries out when treating fractures of the humerus, radius or ulna. It includes T-shape taps in two sizes for threading bone ahead of screw insertion, curved reduction forceps for holding fracture fragments together in the correct alignment while fixation hardware is placed, and a double-head compression drill guide for accurately positioning compression screws across the fracture line.
Matched drill bits support the drilling steps at each screw size, a reconstruction plate bender allows the fixation plate to be shaped to the contour of the arm bone at the fracture site, and a T-type slip extractor and drill guide support the broader fixation sequence. Additional bone holding forceps in the set help maintain reduction during plate application.
Instrument sets like this are used by orthopaedic and trauma surgeons operating on upper limb fractures, where having a complete matched tray keeps the procedure moving smoothly from exposure through to fixation.
