Cerclage :
Lima-Lto Cerclage system has been designed to be
used in long ovoidal section bones.
It consists on a very thin band of standard length
(270 mm), provided with a locking buckle and a loop,
all made of high biocompatibility material, capable
to allow osteosynthesis even in those regions such
as the proximal trocantheric one of the femour.
The buckle and the loop are equipped with small pins
for a strength cortical tissue anchoring, in order
to obtain two stable support points and to avoid any
risk of sliding.
The wide band compression surface improves the
contact of the cerclage in comparison with the
classic plait wire.
This implies the less possible damage to the
periosteal tissue thus avoiding any cut on the bone.
A well spread load allows also to obtain a better
retention of the cerclage and to increase mechanical
behaviour in general.
