Multi-Pin Clamp and Rod Attachmenton

A fixation rod clamp for coupling a bone pin locking assembly to a bone fixation rod, the clamp comprising:

• a rod attachment portion including a jaw portion and a coupling portion, the jaw portion having first and second opposing jaws extending in a first direction, the jaws forming an opening there between configured to receive the bone fixation rod, the coupling portion extending from the jaw portion in a second direction;
• and
• a coupling having a pin vise cooperating portion to engage the bone pin locking assembly and a clamp cooperating portion configured to receive the coupling portion,
• wherein the jaw portion is configured to engage the bone fixation rod when the bone fixation rod is located within the opposing jaws to thereby mechanically couple the bone pin locking assembly to the bone fixation rod.

A fixation member clamp assembly for coupling a bone fixation member, comprising:

• a plurality of fixation member clamps including first and second fixation member clamps, each of the first and second fixation member clamps including a jaw portion having first and second opposing jaws extending in a first direction, the jaws forming an opening there between configured to receive a bone fixation member, the jaw portion having an extension;
• a bone pin locking assembly;
• and
• a coupling having an aperture, the aperture being configured to receive the extension and provide at least one degree of relative rotational freedom,
• wherein the coupling of the first and second fixation member clamps is configured and arranged to engage the bone pin locking assembly so as to provide at least a second degree of relative rotational freedom.

A fixation member clamp for coupling to a first bone fixation member, the clamp comprising:

• a fixation member attachment portion including a jaw portion and a coupling portion, the jaw portion having first and second opposing jaws extending in a first direction, the jaws forming an opening there between configured to receive the first bone fixation member, the coupling portion forming an extension extending from the jaw portion;
• and
• a locking assembly comprising a coupling and a locking portion, the coupling forming an aperture to receive the extension of the coupling portion, the locking portion configured to engage a pin vise portion,
• wherein the fixation member attachment portion is configured to engage the first bone fixation member when the first bone fixation member is located between the opposing jaws of the jaw portion to thereby mechanically couple the bone fixation member to the locking assembly, and
• wherein the coupling portion of the fixation member attachment portion and the locking assembly are configured to allow at least one degree of rotational freedom of the jaw portion with respect to the locking assembly.
