Abstract
A distraction clamp for treating a variety of injuries, comprising a rod clamp assembly having two clamps each configured to retain a rod, a pin clamp assembly comprising a bracket having a first mating surface, and two retainers each having a second mating surface. The bracket is structured to retain a plurality of pins. The first and second mating surfaces of the bracket and retainers respectively, are disposed in movable, retaining engagement with one another. The bracket is reciprocally movable along its length relative to the rod clamp assembly and to the clamp connector. The clamp connector serves to interconnect the rod clamp assembly to the pin clamp assembly. The clamp connector may include a biasing structure disposed and configured to movably bias the bracket in a spaced relation relative to the rod clamp assembly.
