Today, there are fixation apparatus used in orthopedic surgery, which is a kind of external fixation used to reshape the limb bones of living beings, which is a limb-sparing technique for treating complex and/or open bone fractures and used in cases of infected bone nonunion that is not compatible with other techniques.
There is the Ilizarov apparatus that is named after the orthopedic surgeon Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov from the Soviet Union, who pioneered the technique and used in the clinics involved in the state of the art. This apparatus is a circular stabilizer with a modular structure. Stainless steel (or titanium) rings are fixed to the bone with stainless heavy wire (called pins or Kirschner wires). The rings are connected by threaded rods attached with adjustable nuts. The circular structure and tensioned wires of the Ilizarov apparatus provide much more structural support than the traditional one-sided fixation system. This allows for early weight bearing. However, steel nuts are used to fix the pins and rods by tightening in the Ilizarov apparatus. For this reason, the operator has difficulty using these small parts during the application as well as after the application, since these fixing parts are made of steel material, they make it difficult for the living thing to continue its movements in daily life.

A plurality of posts joins each one of the plurality of rings to an adjacent one of the plurality of rings. The mentioned document does not mention an improvement that can easily fix rods and pins, and it remains insufficient in terms of application efficiency. Therefore, it is completely different from our invention.
