Abstract

A device for treating a bone includes a first clamp member sized and shaped to be mounted over a bone laterally across a fixation plate positioned along a length of the bone. In addition, the device includes a second clamp member coupleable to the first clamp member so that, when the first and second clamp members are coupled together in an operative position, the first and second clamp members extend about at least a portion of a periphery of the bone. The second clamp member includes a spring feature biased toward an initial configuration and deflectable toward a second configuration away from the bone.
