ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a bone fixation device of the type useful for connecting two or more bone segments during the healing process. The device comprises an elongate pin having a distal anchor thereon. A proximal anchor is axially movably disposed with respect to the pin, to accommodate different bone dimensions and permit appropriate tensioning of the fixation device. The bone fixation device may comprise bioabsorbable or permanent materials such as poly-p-dioxanone, poly L-lactide (PLLA), nylon or stainless steel.
