The fixation clamp (10) comprises an actuation element (90) which is in connection with the locking element (40) such that the locking element (40) is actuateable by means of the actuation element (90), and the actuation element (90) is designed such that it is detachable from the locking element (40) after use and that remounting onto the locking element (40) is prevented after having detached the 15 actuation element (90) from the locking element (40).
