Abstract
The invention contemplates orthopedic external minifixation apparatus comprising two articulated members having two clamps, each of which is carried by a different one of the articulated members. The articulating connection between members includes provision for simple and rapid alignment of the articulation axis with the articulation axis of the joint between two bones to be treated, thereby permitting early functional re-education and reduction of healing time.
