<p>The present invention is a fixer (10) for adjustably securing a first skeletal element on a superior side of an ankle joint relative to a skeletal element on the inferior side of the ankle joint. The fixer (10) includes a bone screw clamping assembly (28) that preferably secures a pair of screws (16) to the bone of the foot. The bone screw clamping assembly (28) is attached to the central body of the fixer, and is operative for articulating the pair of bone screws (16) about an axis substantially coaxial with the anatomical pivot axis of the ankle joint.</p> |
