Abstract
The invention provides a temporary clamp for connection to the midline clamp which holds the midline clamp in engagement about the lamina and is small enough to be substantially out of the way of the surgeon in use. The temporary clamp is removably connected to the midline clamp by a pair of screws. The temporary clamp is releasably connected to a clamp inserter such that after the midline clamp and temporary clamp is connected to the vertebra, the clamp inserted may be removed and used to connect subsequent temporary clamps. Therefore, since the clamp inserter may be removed from the surgical site without releasing the midline clamp, the surgeon may connect a plurality of the midline clamps with temporary clamps attached without significantly obstructing the surgical site.
