Abstract
A method and device for reattaching adjacent bone plates includes an inner seat, a pin, and an outer seat. The pin is fixedly connected to the inner seat. The outer seat is selectively connected to the pin so that adjacent bone plates are securely held in place between the inner seat and the outer seat. The outer seat includes a first outer seat and a second outer seat that are slidably connected together. The first outer seat has a slot. The second outer seat also has a slot. The first outer seat and the second outer seat are movable between a pin engaging position and a pin locking position.
