A clamping coupling for fixing of bone screws or pins, and connecting these bone screws or pins to an external fixator, includes an additional transverse clamping coupling to achieve better external-fixator anchorage when fractures extend up into the joint (condyle) of the femur. A selectively adjustable asymmetric arrangement permits fixed settings parallel to the longitudinal axis of the femur, while a lateral offset takes into account the natural lateral offset of the centerline of the condyle of the femur with respect to the longitudinal axis of the femur.

Dispositif de serrage servant à fixer des vis ou des tiges pour os, utilisé pour raccorder ces vis ou tiges à un dispositif de fixation externe; inclut un dispositif de serrage transverse additionnel, qui assure un meilleur ancrage dans le dispositif de fixation externe, lorsque la fracture s'étend jusqu'à l'articulation (condyle) du fémur. Une disposition asymétrique réglable permet des réglages parallèles à l'axe longitudinal du fémur, tandis qu'un dispositif décalé latéralement prend en compte le décalage latéral naturel de la ligne médiane du condyle du fémur par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du fémur.
