An open comminuted fracture of the distal tibia is being reduced:

I need to know what a Kugelspieß is. Could it be a "ball screw"

Cetacea Nov 1, 2007:
The ball-spike pusher has been around since at least 2003--that's hardly very new... ;-)
Nicholas Krivenko Nov 1, 2007:
This is a very new instrument that not even I could get my hands on in the UK. In Ireland they haven't heard about it either. It's possible that you will be the first to translate the word unless I happen to think of something. :-)) This is NOT a screw!
