1. A dual bone forceps, comprising:
a bone graft plate clamping forceps having:
a pair of arms, each of the arms having an anterior end and a posterior end; and
a pivot member pivotally attaching the arms to each other between the anterior ends and the posterior ends, the arms defining clamping blades extending between the pivot member and the anterior ends, the clamping blades terminating in clamping jaws at the anterior ends, the clamping jaws being adapted for clamping bone graft material therebetween, the arms defining handles extending between the pivot member and the posterior ends of the arms, the handles terminating in locking jaws selectively locking the handles to clamp the bone graft material between the clamping jaws and prevent further pivoting of the arms until the locking jaws are disengaged;
an anchoring forceps having:
a first arm and a second arm, each of the arms having an anterior end and a posterior end; and
a pivot member pivotally attaching the first and second arms of the anchoring forceps to each other between the anterior ends and the posterior ends, each of the arms defining handle portions extending between the pivot member and the posterior ends of the arms, the handle portions terminating in finger loops, each of the handle portions having a locking member extending therefrom, the locking members overlapping and having a serrated inner face to selectively lock the first and second arms in a clamping position, the first arm defining an elongated arcuate, hooked blade between the pivot member and the anterior end, the hooked end terminating in an angled tip, the second arm defining a shortened anvil blade having a length shorter than the hooked blade and terminating in a link end, the anchoring forceps being adapted for clamping to a supporting bone structure adjacent a bone graft site; and
a linking bar extending between the link end of the anvil blade of the anchoring forceps and the pivot member of the bone graft plate clamping forceps, the linking bar spacing the anchoring forceps apart from the bone graft plate clamping forceps so that the anchoring forceps holds the bone graft plate clamping forceps with the bone graft material adjacent the bone graft site to leave a surgeon with both hands free to fix the bone graft material to the bone graft site, wherein the linking bar extends orthogonal to the anvil blade, whereby the anchoring forceps and the bone graft plate clamping forceps pivot in parallel planes.
