Abstract:
A device (10, 60) for localized bone manipulation includes a base member (12, 62) and a support member (14, 64, 66). The support member (14, 64, 66) is spaced apart from the base member (12, 62) and is disposed generally parallel to the base member (12, 62) for supporting the bone being manipulated. Structure (20) extends between the base member (12) and the support member (14) for generating superiorly and anteriorly directed forces on the bone being manipulated. Structure (68, 70) extends between the base member (62) and the support member (64, 66) for generating superiorly, anteriorly, and laterally directed forces on the bone being manipulated.
