ABSTRACT:
A method and/or apparatus is provided for bone fixation which includes oscillating a wire about a longitudinal axis, advancing the oscillating wire into the bone tissue, and leaving the wire in the bone tissue as a fixation element. The apparatus in the present invention may be a self-contained unit for providing oscillatory motion to a chuck configured for releasably engaging a K-wire or the like, or may include a drive gear for use with a conventional rotor and drill for accomplishing the same oscillatory action.
