A device for external orthopedic fixations, which has one or more frames which have a substantially and/or partially annular shape and are suitable for being arranged around a limb to surround it at least partially, wherein one or more rods are fixed to a frame by means of a locking mechanism is provided. The device has two jaws which, when closed, tighten the locking mechanism to a portion of the frame by exerting a prevalently axial force, wherein the jaws are closed by means of a cam mechanism suitable for being actuated by rotating a lever pivoted to a first jaw and provided with one or more cam surfaces cooperating with a surface of the second jaw.
