External fixation for osteosynthesis

Abstract

Abstract The fixation device is provided with at least one bridging component (11). A number of mountings (12) can be oriented and screw- clamped on this bridging component (11) by means of clamping jaw surfaces (13). The mountings (12) in turn have cylindrical locating holes which can be blocked by means of activation screws (14) and in this way serve as clamping seats for in each case one bone nail or for in each case one bone screw (15). <??>The cylindrical locating holes are delimited in each case by a one- part continuous intrados surface and, upon tightening of the activation screws (14), can be blocked alone or together with adjacent, mounting-side clamping jaw surfaces (13). The cylindrical locating holes can in each case be elastically or plastically deformed from a drill or screw guide of greater width, receiving a bone drill with play, as far as the clamping seat of smaller width for the bone nail or for the bone screw (15). <IMAGE>
