Abstract
A bone clamp including two or more clamping members configured to clampingly receive a bone therebetween. The bone clamp further includes a basis supporting at least two of the clamping members at a first distance to each other. At least one of the at least two clamping members has a body and is rotatably supported by the basis. The at least one rotatably supported clamping member has a bone engaging structure extending helically along at least a part of a length of its body. The bone engaging structure is configured to engage a side surface of the bone upon rotation of the at least one rotatably supported clamping member. Depending on the direction of the rotation, the rotatably supported clamping member advances along the side surface of the bone either in a downward direction for mounting the bone clamp or in an upward direction for dismounting the bone clamp.
