  • (7) The anchoring wire can also be retracted and repositioned.
  • (8) The treatment is surgical and should be through a dorsal approach which allows repositioning of the tendon and internal fixation of the fracture.

Repositor


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument employed for replacing a displaced organ or part.

Example Sentences:
