[0029] The front and rear arc-shaped fixing frames 5 and 25 are provided with a plurality of front and rear arc-shaped connecting holes 6 and 26 respectively along the arc direction. The rear sides of the two front arc-shaped connecting holes on the left and right sides of the front arc-shaped fixing frame 5 are both connected with the front shaft section 71 of the front connecting seat 7 and locked at the front side by the front locking nut 8 (such as Figure 2 、 3 ), the rear connecting head 72 of the front connecting seat 7 is hingedly connected to the connecting head 91 of the front ends of the left and right pull rods 9 and 19 through a pin shaft perpendicular to the front and rear directions, the rear end of the left pull rod 9 passes through the rear arc connecting hole 26 on the left side of the rear arc fixing frame 25, and the left pull rod 9 is spirally screwed and fixed from the front and rear toward the rear arc fixing frame 25 through the rear connecting seat 10 and the rear locking nut 11 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 、 5 ), the rear end of the right pull rod 19 is connected to the rear connecting bolt 21 through the spring segment 20, the rear connecting bolt 21 passes through the rear arc-shaped connecting hole 26 on the right side of the rear arc-shaped fixing frame 25 and is spirally screwed and fixed from the front and rear toward the rear arc-shaped fixing frame 25 through the rear connecting seat 10 and the rear locking nut 11.

[0030] The two posterior arc-shaped connecting holes 26 on the left and right sides of the posterior arc-shaped fixing frame 25 respectively pass through the posterior nut assemblies 12. The posterior nut assembly 12 passes through and compresses the first K-wire 13 on the posterior arc-shaped fixing frame 25. The first K-wire 13 corresponds to the radius 1. The intermediate fixing frame 16 passes through the posterior arc-shaped connecting hole 26 in the middle of the posterior arc-shaped fixing frame 25 and is locked and fixed with a nut. The intermediate fixing frame 16 is provided with multiple fixing holes 161 along the anterior-posterior direction. The intermediate nut assembly 17 passes through the fixing holes 161 and compresses the third K-wire 18. The third K-wire 18 corresponds to the upper radial bone fragment.

[0031] The support nut assembly 24 is passed through the front arc connecting hole 6 on the left side of the front arc fixing frame 5, and the screw section of the support nut assembly 24 is passed through the support rod groove 23 on the left side of the support rod 22 and is locked and crimped by a nut. The front nut assembly 14 is passed through the front arc connecting hole 6 on the right side of the front arc fixing frame 5, and the front nut assembly 14 is crimped with the second Kirschner wire 15 on the front arc fixing frame 5.

These curved insertion grooves 27 and 28 work together to insert and crimp the K-wire when the screw is tightened.

[0033] In this embodiment, the function of the front nut assembly to thread and tighten the second Kirschner wire is replaced by the support nut assembly. Depending on the actual hole position on the front arc-shaped fixing frame and the angle and orientation of the second Kirschner wire that needs to be fixed, the front nut assembly and the support nut assembly can be used individually or in combination and interactively to fix the second Kirschner wire.

[0034] In this embodiment, the front and rear arc-shaped fixing frames, the middle fixing frame, the pull rod, and the supporting rod are made of carbon fiber material.
