ABSTRACT:
A pliers-like clamping device having offset bone gripping plates temporarily grips and clamps together two bone segments above and below as diagonal cut at an osteotomy site. The device includes a pair of handle members having distal ends which are turned at substantially right angles to the handle arms and parallel to each other and offset both vertically and horizontally from each other. The distal ends form bone-gripping plates which may be serrated or ribbed on their inwardly facing surfaces. A ratcheting mechanism is provided near the proximal end of the device so that the clamping force may be set and maintained at a desired level.
