Abstract:
External fixation systems, and methods for immobilizing joints or fractured bones. An external fixation system may include one or more clamp assemblies connected to one or more rod assemblies at polyaxial joints. Each rod assembly may be length adjustable, and may include a one-way locking mechanism to provisionally lock the length of the rod assembly, and additional locking mechanisms to permanently lock the length of the rod assembly. The system may be deployed pre-assembled as a unit to immobilize a joint or fracture. Another external fixation system further includes a spanning member extending transverse to the rod assemblies. Two or more external fixation systems may be deployed in a stacked configuration on one set of bone pins to immobilize two joints and/or fractures. The systems may be provided in kits including guiding instrumentation, bone pins and pin clamping assemblies for connecting the bone pins to the external fixation systems.

Claim (Index 26):
The clamp assembly of  claim 17 , further comprising a pin, and wherein:\n the first clamp includes a first engagement portion comprising a first aperture sized and shaped to receive the pin, the main clamp body includes a second engagement portion comprising a second aperture sized and shaped to receive the pin, and the main clamp body is pivotally connected to the first clamp by the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion being aligned and by the pin extending through the first aperture and the second aperture.
