Abstract:
A system for fixating a bone includes a buckle having a plurality of lock bars and a hook. A cord may connect the hook with an opposite end of the buckle and around a bone. The buckle may include lock bars on the opposite end of the buckle to receive the cord and allow a frictional resistance to a loosening of the cord around the bone to facilitate a reduction of a fracture of the bone.
