An internal pelvic fixation apparatus for maintaining a reduction of bone structures of a pelvic bone, the apparatus comprising: a first clamp structured to be selectively adjustably rotatable about a first axis, at least a portion of the first clamp also being selectively adjustable about a second axis, the first axis being non-parallel to the second axis, the first clamp having a first clamp bore having a first uncompressed size when the first clamp is in an unlocked state and a first compressed size when the first clamp is in a locked state; a second clamp structured to be selectively adjustably rotatable about a third axis, at least a portion of the second clamp also being selectively adjustable about a fourth axis, the third axis being non-parallel to the fourth axis, the second clamp having a second clamp bore having a second uncompressed size when the second clamp is in an uncompressed state and a second compressed size when the second clamp is in a locked state, each of the first clamp and the second clamp comprising a nut; and an implant rod sized to extend to opposing sides of the pelvis bone, the implant rod having a first end and a second end, the first end sized for adjustable insertion through the first clamp bore, the second end sized for adjustable insertion through the second clamp bore, wherein the first compressed size of the first clamp bore and the second compressed size of the second clamp bore are sized to exert a compression force on the implant rod that prevents movement of the implant rod relative to the first and second clamps (138a, 138b), characterized in that the apparatus comprises at least one joystick, the at least one joystick having a handle, a body portion, and an engagement member, the handle extending through at least a portion of the body portion and coupled to the engagement member, the engagement member being axially displaceable by axial displacement of the handle relative to the body portion, the engagement member further being rotatable by rotation of the handle, the engagement member being configured to be removably coupled to at least one of the first and second clamps (138a, 138b) in a manner that translates rotational movement of the engagement member to the nut of the first or second clamp (138a, 138b). a first clamp structured to be selectively adjustably rotatable about a first axis, at least a portion of the first clamp also being selectively adjustable about a second axis, the first axis being non-parallel to the second axis, the first clamp having a first clamp bore having a first uncompressed size when the first clamp is in an unlocked state and a first compressed size when the first clamp is in a locked state; a second clamp structured to be selectively adjustably rotatable about a third axis, at least a portion of the second clamp also being selectively adjustable about a fourth axis, the third axis being non-parallel to the fourth axis, the second clamp having a second clamp bore having a second uncompressed size when the second clamp is in an uncompressed state and a second compressed size when the second clamp is in a locked state, each of the first clamp and the second clamp comprising a nut; and an implant rod sized to extend to opposing sides of the pelvis bone, the implant rod having a first end and a second end, the first end sized for adjustable insertion through the first clamp bore, the second end sized for adjustable insertion through the second clamp bore, wherein the first compressed size of the first clamp bore and the second compressed size of the second clamp bore are sized to exert a compression force on the implant rod that prevents movement of the implant rod relative to the first and second clamps (138a, 138b), characterized in that the apparatus comprises at least one joystick, the at least one joystick having a handle, a body portion, and an engagement member, the handle extending through at least a portion of the body portion and coupled to the engagement member, the engagement member being axially displaceable by axial displacement of the handle relative to the body portion, the engagement member further being rotatable by rotation of the handle, the engagement member being configured to be removably coupled to at least one of the first and second clamps (138a, 138b) in a manner that translates rotational movement of the engagement member to the nut of the first or second clamp (138a, 138b).
