US Patent 8080045 Bone clamp

A bone clamp, in one example, includes a first scissor arm and a second scissor arm pivotally connected to the first scissor arm. A guide is pivotally attached to the first scissor arm and a first clamping member with a drill or wire receiving channel therethrough is pivotally connected to the second scissor arm and slideable through the guide. A second clamping member is fixed to the guide. In this way, when a bone is clamped between the first and second clamping members, a drill and/or wire can proceed through the first clamping member and into the bone between the first and second clamping members.
