Abstract

The invention relates to an orthopedic fixation device with an at least partly shaft-like fixation member, a shaft-like mounting body, and a transverse support securing the fixation member and the mounting body in a position in which they are laterally offset from one another. In order to adjust the transverse support without having to change the position of the fixation member, the fixation member can be rotated about its longitudinal axis in the transverse support and can be secured in a defined angular position.
