Abstract :
Internal fixation of bone fracture is acommonmethod
in the surgical treatment of fracture in long bones (1).
Bridging the broken bone as well as obtaining a rigid fixation
plays an essential role in proper healing (1). Several
instruments can help orthopedic surgeons to preserve the
alignment in an anatomical condition. Once the reduction
is done, it can be maintained by internal fixation through
the application of plate, screw, or other implants to recreate
the normal anatomy of the fractured bone (1, 2). This
study presents a new bone reduction clamp for easy insertion
of the plate during internal fixation
