Abstract: Any external fixture for bone synthesis is provided with at least one bridge member, a plurality of holders are orientable and screw clampable on this bridge member by clamping surfaces. The holders have cylindrical holder openings which are closable by an operating screw and thereby serve as clamp holders, each for one bone nail and/or one bone screw.The cylindrical holder openings are bounded by a one piece connected wall surface and are closable individual or jointly with adjacent holder clamp jaw surfaces on the clamp side, on tightening the operating screw. Thus the cylindrical holder openings are each elastically or plastically deformable by a drill and/or screw guide receiving a bone drill with play, from a layer width - down to a smaller width for clamping.The external fixture affords a simple structure, easy to manufacture and at the same time simple handling during operation.
