Abstract
An apparatus and method for external anteversion correction of an intact bone may include a first arcuate segment, a second arcuate segment rotatably coupled to the first arcuate segment, a first pin extending from the first arcuate segment to a proximal segment of the intact bone, a second pin extending from the second arcuate segment to a distal segment of the intact bone, and a control mechanism attached to the first and second arcuate segments. The control mechanism may rotate the first arcuate segment relative to the second arcuate segment to exert torsional force on the intact bone between the proximal and distal segments of the intact bone, thereby externally reducing anteversion of the intact bone.
