ABSTRACT:
A surgical support structure joint includes a shaft having an axis, a first support member rotatably supported about the axis of the shaft and a camming member coupled to the first support member. The camming member is movable between a first clamped position and a second unclamped position. In the first clamped position, the camming member applies greater force to the first support member than in the second unclamped position to prevent rotation of the first support member in the first clamped position and to permit rotation of the first support member in the second unclamped position.
