An osteotomy compression/distraction instrument is a manual surgical tool used to help bring together or separate bone fragments after an osteotomy, a surgical cut in a bone. This instrument is typically attached to pins, screws, or nails inserted into the bone on either side of the cut, allowing for controlled compression or distraction. The device has a mechanism, such as a screw, that enables the arms of the instrument to be opened or closed, facilitating the desired movement at the osteotomy site.
