Zusammenfassung:A bone clamp having a first jaw, an opposed second jaw and a drill guide, the drill guide being attached to the first jaw so that bone held between the first jaw and the second jaw can be drilled by a drill inserted through the drill guide, the first jaw having a longitudinal axis. The drill guide can be ball shaped at one distal end thereof that is positioned sufficiently within and retained within a corresponding cavity of the first jaw so that the angle of the drill guide can be adjusted to compound angles in the longitudinal and transverse directions in relation to the longitudinal axis of the first jaw. The bone clamp preferably comprises an organic polymer that is relatively transparent to X-rays.
