ABSTRACT:
A bone clamp for temporarily applying compressive force to portions of bone during surgical procedures has a configuration of a forceps. The device has a pair of sharp distal ends which are turned inwardly so that the bone may be gripped between the ends. A compressive force is maintained between the distal ends by means of a ratcheting arrangement near the handles. The device may be used to hold bone fragments together while surgical procedures are performed, such as the insertion of a bone screw to a fracture site, after which the clamp is released. The distal ends are approximately collinear, thereby allowing the clamp to pivot about the distal ends out of the way of surgical procedures to be performed when the clamp is in place.
