An implantable surgical device for fixation of one or more bone fragments or grafts to an adjacent stable bone. The device is formed by a U-shaped wire having a U bend portion and two legs extending from the U bend portion, the device being secured near the U bend portion by a fixation device including a washer and a bone screw to a stable bone. The distal ends of the legs are formed with pointed projections or with bends providing projections extending out of the plane of the U-shaped wire to penetrate the surface of the bone fragment or graft and provide translational constraint of the fragment or graft.
