The present invention regards an orthopaedic device (10; 110) to be associated with the outside of a bone and of the type comprising a support rail (12; 112), extended along a central longitudinal axis (Y-Y) substantially parallel to the bone (11; 111), at least two clamps (14, 18; 114, 118) mounted slidably along said axis (Y-Y) on the support rail (12; 112) and supporting endosseous screws (16, 20; 116, 120) insertable into the bone, and a distractor/compressor device (58) removably attachable to the two clamps (14, 18; 114, 118) by means of respective connection pins (68) inserted into corresponding holes (64; 164) of each clamp, wherein each clamp comprises a clamp body having a base or lower jaw (24; 124) and a lid, or upper jaw (23; 123) as well as two screws (25, 26; 125, 126) for fixing the upper jaw (23; 123) to the lower jaw (24; 124). Advantageously the holes (64; 164) for the connection pins (68) are aligned along a line (X; X′) that is extended substantially parallel to said axis (Y-Y) with at least one hole for the connection pins of the remaining clamp also being aligned along said line (X; X′), thus making the overall structure of the clamps mounted on the orthopaedic device (10; 110) particularly compact.
