Product Description
Features a "snap-on" design that allows clamps to be added or removed from the bar without disassembling the entire frame, significantly reducing surgical time.
Equipped with compact reduction joints that allow for controlled distraction and compression, essential for aligning small, delicate joint surfaces.
The system utilizes small-diameter bars and low-profile blocks to ensure the frame does not interfere with the patient's dexterity or neighboring digits.
The universal joints allow pins to be inserted at various angles, facilitating the stabilization of complex multi-fragment (comminuted) fractures in small bones.
Specifically indicated for shattered fractures of the wrist. The can span the wrist joint to maintain length and alignment while the delicate joint surface heals.
Indicated for fractures of the hand and fingers. The small fragment set provides the precision needed to stabilize these tiny bones without damaging surrounding tendons.
Indicated for cases where a small joint (like the wrist or finger joints) needs to be permanently fused due to severe arthritis or chronic instability.
Indicated for pediatric fractures or small-adult forearm trauma where a standard large fixator would be too heavy and bulky for the limb.

The Hoffmann Small Fragment Set is a specialized kit of mini-bars, clamps, and pins used to fix small bones, mainly in the hand, wrist, and forearm. When these small bones break, they can be very difficult to hold together with just a cast. The acts like a miniature external skeleton. It uses very thin pins that go into the bone and connect to small rods on the outside. Because the parts are tiny and lightweight, the frame doesn't feel too heavy on your arm or hand, but it is strong enough to keep your bones in the right place so they can heal perfectly.
The primary application of the is for the stable fixation of distal radius fractures. It is applied to provide immediate stabilization for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures where internal plating is not ideal due to small bone size. The fixator is utilize for the application of joint-spanning across the wrist to treat severe pilon-type injuries of the upper extremity. In clinical practice, the application of the miniature snap-on clamps is essential for building a customized frame quickly during trauma surgery. This set serves as a versatile application for pediatric orthopedics, where smaller hardware is required to match the size of growing bones.
A major advantage of the TOOLMED is its modular "snap-on" clamping system, which provides a significant advantage by allowing surgeons to adjust the frame without taking it apart. The miniature bar diameters offer the critical advantage of a low-profile design, a significant advantage for maintaining hand function during recovery. The multi-axial joints provide the advantage of precise bone reduction, a critical advantage for restoring delicate joint surfaces. Furthermore, the lightweight aluminum construction provides the advantage of improved patient comfort, which is a key advantage when the frame must be worn on the hand or wrist for several weeks.
Biomechanically, the is engineered to provide high stability for small bones while resisting the pull of tendons and ligaments. It is biomechanically designed to create a "load-sharing" bridge that protects the fracture site from the stress of daily hand movements. By utilizing small-diameter pins and rods, the system biomechanically maintains the "tension-band" effect needed for proper bone union in the forearm and hand. This biomechanical stabilization is vital for preserving the joint space and preventing the small bones from shortening or rotating while they heal.
The surgical technique begins with the percutaneous insertion of small-diameter Schanz screws (2.0mm to 4.0mm) into the bone fragments under X-ray guidance. The miniature bars are then "snapped" into the clamping blocks to connect the pins. The surgeon performs a reduction by manually pulling or adjusting the bones until they are aligned on the X-ray screen. The technique is finalized by tightening the locking bolts on the universal joints. Because the system is so modular, the surgeon can add extra bars or pins easily if the fracture is particularly complex, ensuring the most stable result possible.
Postoperative care for the focuses on digit mobility and pin-site health. For the facility, it is critical to encourage "early finger wiggling" to prevent the tendons in the hand from scarring down. The facility must also provide a strict daily cleaning routine for the pins, as the skin on the hand and wrist is very thin and prone to irritation. Patients are taught to keep the frame clean and dry. Regular X-rays are taken to monitor the small bones as they heal. Proper care ensures the frame remains secure until the bones are strong enough for removal, usually after 6 to 8 weeks.
The TOOLMED Hoffmann External Fixation Small Fragment Set is the ultimate high-precision solution for small bone trauma. By combining a lightweight, low-profile design with unmatched modular flexibility, it ensures that even the most complex hand and wrist fractures are held in perfect alignment, paving the way for a full recovery of movement and function.
Yes, the is designed to be very slim so that it doesn't block your fingers. In fact, moving your fingers is very important to prevent stiffness and help the blood flow in your hand while your wrist heals.
No, the Hoffmann Small Fragment components are made from lightweight aluminum and are much smaller than the fixators used on legs. Most patients get used to the weight within a few hours.
You cannot soak your hand in water. You should use a sponge to clean around the frame and follow your nurse's instructions for cleaning the pin sites with sterile saline. Keeping the pin sites clean is the best way to prevent infection.
If a pin feels like it is wiggling or if the skin around it is very red and sore, you should call your doctor. They can check the frame and tighten any bolts if needed, or treat a minor skin infection if one is starting.
Removing a small fragment fixator is usually very quick and done in the doctor's office. You will feel a little bit of pressure, but it is generally much faster and less painful than patients expect.
