A device used to immobilise a threaded support pin (21) in relation to a fixed element (1, 34), the pin being screwed into a bone part (3, 3a, 3b) along an axis (yy′). The device includes a locking sleeve (13) which can be solidly screwed to the fixed element (1, 34, 7) and which is provided with an axial bore (19) in order to receive the pin (21). The axis (zz′) of the sleeve screw thread is angularly and/or laterally offset in relation to the axis (yy′) of the pin (21) when the latter is in place on the bone part (3, 3a, 3b), and/or the axis of the bore (19) of the locking sleeve (13) is angularly and/or laterally offset in relation to the screw thread axis (6).
Device for immobilising with respect to a fixed element (1, 34) a threaded support pin (21) screwed in a bone part (3, 3a, 3b) along an axis (yy′), characterized in that it comprises a locking sleeve (13) which is connectable by screwing of the fixed element (1, 34, 7), which is provided with an axial bore (19) which receives the pin (21), the axis (zz′) of the threading of this sleeve is angularly and/or laterally offset in relation to the axis (yy′) of the pin (21) when the latter is in place on the bone part (3, 3a, 3b), and/or the axis of the bore (19) of the locking sleeve (13) is angularly and/or laterally offset in relation to the axis of the threading (6).
