The present invention relates to an implantable clamp for fixation of one or more bone fragments (82, 85) to a stable bone (81). The clamp has two basic functions, namely a buttress function and a clamp function. Either function or both may be employed depending on the fracture picture. The clamp has a first part (71) having a front part bent into a buttress (79) and/or into a lower part (77) of a clamp. Further, the clamp may comprise a second part (72) constituting the upper part (73) of the clamp. A screw (74) is used to secure the clamp to the stable bone (81). The buttress (79) of the clamp is utilized to press an intra-articular fragment (85) against an adjacent joint surface. The clamp (73, 77) is utilized to capture and secure a bone fragment (82). |
