Hinge 90°
The Hinge 90° is a right-angle articulating connector designed to provide a fixed 90-degree bend with rotational or angular movement between two components in an external fixation assembly. It combines rigidity and articulation, making it essential for building L-shaped linkages or angular corrections in limb reconstruction procedures. Typically, this hinge is used when a frame needs to support a bent or jointed anatomical section, such as around the elbow or knee, or when connecting horizontal and vertical fixator components. It helps maintain frame integrity while allowing for precise adjustments at the bend point. Material: Primary Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, and strong Optional Materials: Anodized Aluminum – lightweight option for pediatric or non-load-bearing applications Titanium – MRI-compatible variant for specialized cases Surface Finish: Polished or matte finish Fully autoclavable
- Joint-Spanning Constructs – Ideal for elbow or knee frames where a 90° bend replicates joint anatomy.
- Angular Deformity Correction – Facilitates precise repositioning of limbs at a right angle during gradual correction.
- Cross-Bracing & Structural Support – Adds rigid perpendicular support in modular frame builds.
- Pediatric Orthopedics – Used in smaller anatomical constructs where compact, angled joints are essential.
- Multiplanar Frame Assemblies – Provides stable angular junctions between vertical and horizontal frame planes.
- Fixed 90° Angle – Allows strong and stable perpendicular connections.
- Rotational Hinge Mechanism – Enables angular or circular movement at the bend.
- Precision Threading (Male/Female Ends) – Compatible with standard external fixator components.
- Compact & Durable – Minimizes bulk while maintaining high strength.
- Versatile Integration – Can be used in circular, rail, or hybrid systems.
- Reusable & Sterilizable – Long-lasting surgical use.
