Hartmann clamp

The Hartmann clamp is a medical device that is used to fix a broken bone. It was developed by a German surgeon named Karl Hartmann in the early 20th century. The main purpose of creating the X. clamp was the ability to operate on patients whose breathing was impaired during surgery. When a clamp was applied, many operations began to be performed without anesthesia, since the surgeon could calmly work with the patient. X. clamps are used for easy and durable connection of fragments using the Ilizarov apparatus and various tibilal fixators. They are mainly used by surgeons for fractures of the lower extremities, as well as combined injuries.

The mechanism of operation of the Hartmann clamp is as follows: - Wedge-shaped pads are applied to the ends of broken bones. - A needle is placed under the cut and inserted into a tube prepared in advance. The needle is removed if possible. The tube is fixed to the tube
