Claim:
1. An external fixation system comprising: a first elongate rod; a first fixation pin housing having a longitudinal bore housing at least a portion of the first elongate rod, the longitudinal bore defining first and second open ends and an at least partially closed circumferential body, the first elongate rod received by the first fixation housing about a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal bore; a first pin clamping member coupled to the first fixation pin housing, the first pin clamping member being rotatable with respect to the first fixation pin housing and the first elongate rod when in an unlocked state; and a first locking post member coupled to the first fixation pin housing and the first pin clamping member, wherein rotation of the first locking post member in a first direction causes the first fixation pin housing and the first pin clamping member to compress into a locked state such that the first pin clamping member cannot rotate with respect to the first fixation pin housing and the first elongate rod and the first fixation pin housing is fixed to the first elongate rod.
