1.7.2 Limitations
Test to be conducted will be limited to the simple femoral fractures only. The study will not undergo an actual clinical trial. The device will be used for open reduction cases. The device will not be automated. Removal of bone fragments prior to fracture reduction will be necessary. The device may or may not be removed prior to reaming, depending on the surgeons convenience and chosen bone holder (clamp or pin) The device is intended for direct reduction to ensure effectivity.

1.9 Methodology
1.9.1 Structure of the Phase
Included in the Phase 1 are information gathering, planning stage and review/study stage. During the information gathering, the group should have gathered relevant information that can help to the fulfillment of the study. It would also serve as an exposure for the group in the biomedical field to be able to understand the current and urgent needs of the country in that aspect. After having a finalized topic to be proposed, the group will move on to the planning stage. This stage will give some concrete details as to how the thesis will be made possible. It is the period where the group will generate a well-defined conceptual framework and clear objectives, scopes and limitations that could be presented to potential sponsors for the thesis project. Also, included in the Phase 1 is the study stage. It is a stage of mastery of the different subjects needed in order to finish the project. It will be an intensive learning that would help the group in developing the project. To follow is the Phase 2, which is composed of the design stage and data gathering. During the design stage, the group is supposed to give life to

There are four eminences, or protuberances, in the human femur: the head, the greater trochanter, the lesser trochanter, and the lower extremity. The word femur is Latin for thigh. Theoretically, femur bone is more proper than saying femur alone. [3]

The area of fracture can either be closed or open. Closed fracture is a scenario in which the skin in the fracture area is not broken, and the break is not exposed to the outside while the Open fracture (Compound) the skin over the fracture is broken, exposing the broken bone.

Figure 2.5 Open and Close Fracture Pathological fracture occurs when bone has been weakened or destroyed by disease so that it breaks easily. Stress fracture shows a hairline crack in a bone which is sometimes not even visible on an x-ray, which is caused by repeated injury or stress on the bone.

The Weber Forceps is commonly used in bone reduction, because it is mild to the Periosteum. Periosteum is a membrane covering the outer surface of bones except at the joints [8]. This forceps can move in three linear planes and two rotational degrees of freedom. There are two techniques that can be used by this forceps: two-forceps technique (Figure 2.2) and single-forceps technique (Figure 2.3). [10] Bravo

considerable circumferential exposure of the bone can be seen, because of its pointed end that has to reach completely around the bone. For compression, the pointed end of the forceps may be hooked into an end hole of the plate while the broad end reaches around an independent screw head to pull the plate, thereby compressing the fragments (pull technique).

Lowman Bone Clamp Lowman Bone clamps are perpendicular bone clamps are used to reduce bone fractures. The clamps are inserted through the wound incision perpendicular with the axis of fracture. The fracture is reduced by tightening the jaws of the clamp with a screw mechanism. Bone clamps currently available are Lowman, Lowman-Gerster and the Lowman-Hoglund bone clamps. The screw mechanism often requires the use of both hands, the use of only one hand is preferable.

The universal large distractor is particularly suited to poly trauma patients. It is placed in the saggital plane to restore the length and alignment without the need of a fracture table. Without the table, it will allow the hip and knee to flex during nailing. The disadvantage is that intensifying the image control is difficult to obtain in the lateral view.[13]

2.7 Summary
This chapter presented the researches that the group conducted. The team gained more knowledge about the topic and answered some of the questions in mind through the researches. The information gathered was relevant to the study. The review of the previous studies and existing patents helped the group to decide about the feasibility of the topic. It paved the way to the generation of more ideas on how to do the thesis. The researches were very useful for the thesis. The research regarding the current techniques used in the Philippines gave the group an idea on how to improve the instruments. Existing instruments gave the team several ideas on the physical design of the instruments and prevented the team in copying the designs.

Autoclavable The device should be autoclavable, since autoclaves are the most widely used sterilization method in hospitals. It would be a plus, if it can also be sterilized by other methods such as ETO, Gamma sterilization and so on.
Made from biocompatible materials Device that will come into contact with the patients blood, tissues and bone should be made from biocompatible materials. Other components of the device should at least be made from a corrosion resistant material. As for the user and patients requirements, the device ought to be user friendly and safe to use. There has to be no sharp edges that could damage the surgeons surgical gloves. The device should be easy to use, not to require special trainings prior to use.

4.8 Summary
The design of the Universal Large Distractor was initially drafted by patterning it to the design of the AO Universal Femoral Distractor. The clamps were incorporated to replace the schanz screw that was standard in the use of that device. The clamps were integrated to address the concern of drilling into the fractured bone prior to intramedullary nailing. But provisions were made in the design so as to give the surgeon a choice between using the clamp or the schanz screw in holding the fractured bones.

Key properties These properties are specified for flat rolled product (plate, sheet and coil) in ASTM A240/A240M. Similar but not necessarily identical properties are specified for other products such as pipe and bar in their respective specifications. As steel is heated above critical temperature (approx. 1335 F) it undergoes a phase change, recrystallizing as austenite. Continued heating to approx. 1450 - 1500F assures complete conversion to austenite. The high chrome and nickel content of austenitic stainless steel suppresses the transformation on cooling to a ferrite/cementite, keeping the material fully austenite, as well as rendering it essentially non-magnetic in the annealed condition. This gives austenitic stainless steels excellent cryogenic properties, good hightemperature strength and oxidation resistance. Excellent corrosion
resistance, non-magnetic properties and exceptionally high toughness at all temperatures make these steels suitable for a wide variety of applications.
4.8.2 Autoclavable
Materials to be used should be autoclavable. Stainless steel being the material used for the majority of the devices construct has no issue on this. However, since the pin adaptor will be made using a plastic material, the material used should be tested for its compatibility with this sterilization
method. Two plastic materials were tested for this function, namely, the UHMWPE and Pomalux. Both materials are implant grade materials and are already used as instrument and/or implant in orthopedics. Matrix of the materials compatibility with different sterilization methods are also already available in many references, sample of such is provided below: (table) However, for the purpose of this research, the group also had an actual testing for the two plastic materials, which are detailed in Chapter 5 and 6.

7.2 Conclusion
The device had successfully delivered its objectives. Designing a mechanism for the distraction of the fractured bone has benefits to both the surgeon and patient. The instrument helped reduced the amount of force that the surgeon needed to exert in reducing the fracture and this in turn resulted to the reduction of cost and operating time that the patient has to pay for. The instrument is very practical and can be used by orthopedic surgeons for reducing femoral fractures. Contrary to the conventional way of reducing old femoral fractures, this device can easily and quickly reduce the old fracture.
7.3 Recommendation
Better machining capabilities such as forging A device that could help in distraction that is non-invasive or less invasive Better material such as SS LV316 or 17-4 SS Clearance for moving parts
