A bone clamp for coupling an intramedullary stem to a bone includes a collet, a bushing, and a cap. The collet includes a main body and a plurality of legs and is configured to receive the bone and the intramedullary stem. The collar includes internal threading that is complementary to external threading on the main body of the collet such that rotation of the collar relative to the collet translates the collar to compress the plurality of legs radially inwardly against the bone. The bushing is received within the collet, and the cap includes internal threading that is complementary to external threading on the proximal end of the collet such that rotation of the cap relative to the collet translates the cap distally relative to the collet to compress the bushing against the intramedullary stem.
