Abstract
An adjustable dynamic distraction mechanism connects proximal and distal components of a fixator system to enable adjustment of the distraction between proximal and distal bones of a joint and fixation thereof. The device is dynamic in that once fixation of distraction is set, the distal portion of the anatomy may be permitted to move essentially freely to flex and extend by rotation at the natural axis of the joint.
