An external fixation system having a fixation component (20) comprising: a) a first capture member (24) adapted to capture a second element (26) of an orthopedic fixation system; and (b) a second capture member (22) adapted to capture a second element (28) of an orthopedic fixation system and coupled to the first capture member such that the coupling (86,94,110) allows the first capture member and the second capture member to rotate about three axes relative to each other element and move along that axis; wherein the coupling is adapted to secure the first and the second capture members from rotation with an activation (100); and wherein the second capture member is adapted to capture the second element by snapping onto the second element from substantially perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the second element.
L'invention concerne un système de fixation externe équipé d'un composant (20) de fixation comprenant: a) un premier élément (24) de capture adapté pour capturer un second élément (26) d'un système de fixation orthopédique; et (b) un second élément (22) de capture adapté pour capturer un second élément (28) d'un système de fixation orthopédique, et couplé au premier élément de capture de manière que le couplage (86,94,110) permette au premier élément de capture et au second élément de capture de tourner autour de trois axes l'un par rapport à l'autre, et permette au second élément de capture de tourner autour d'un axe du second élément et de se déplacer le long de cet axe. Le couplage est adapté pour empêcher le premier et le second élément de capture de tourner avec une activation (100), et le second élément de capture est adapté pour capturer le second élément par encliquetage du second élément de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du second élément.
