ABSTRACT:
An external fixation device for the extension of the distance between two clamping members of an external fixator has a central internal rod and an outer hollow housing. The internal rod is movable axially. One end of the internal rod projects over the one end of the housing, and serves to fix the one clamping member. An adjusting member is provided disposed at the other end of the housing and is connected with internal rod and/or the outer hollow housing, whereby the axial position of the interior shaft can be adjusted in relation to the housing by means of rotation of the adjusting member. Furthermore, an adjusting knob is provided that can be detachably attached to the adjusting member with an essentially positive fit.
