Abstrakt: The patent application describes a programmable wrench and adjustable external fixation struts for use in medical procedures. The wrench is designed to automatically adjust the length of the struts based on prescription data, aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of surgical procedures such as limb fracture fixation and deformity correction. The wrench includes a mechanical connector and an electrical connector integrated into a common port, allowing for torque transmission and data/power transmission between the wrench and the struts. The struts themselves have a variable length and may include sensors to detect changes in length. [Extracted from the article]
