A surgical bone clamp for providing clamping and support during fixing a fractured bone is disclosed. The bone clamp provides adequate clearance for drilling of holes and inserting the bone screws and can be used in fixation of a variety of fractures including transverse, spiral, long and short oblique, comminuted, and butterfly and wedge fragment fractures and for bone grafting. The apparatus comprises a support member 100 which is placed on the underside of the bone shaft 202. The support member 100includes a set of locking members 102comprising a pair of shaped recesses encompassed in a rotating wheel. A bone clamping means 204 comprises a pair of pivotally joint shafts and bone-gripping portions which have a pair of corresponding shaped ridges which are interposed in the shaped recesses. The wheel is rotated to lock the apparatus and thereby maintain the alignment and reduction in the bone shaft 202.
