The sharp, narrow points on this clamp dig into the fracture itself rather than just pressing on the flat bone surface, which means it grips much better and won't slide around like regular clamps do. You get better control when you're trying to line up broken pieces because the tips stay in place, and you can see the fracture site more clearly since the small points don't block your view as much. Plus, the ratchet system on this model gives you step-by-step control, while standard clamps just have a basic screw that's harder to fine-tune.
