ABSTRACT:
A partially threaded compression wire with a trocar insertion point is inserted into a first bone fragment and a mating button is crimped into position on the wire to cause compression between the first bone fragment and a second bone fragment. A cannulated instrument applies tension to the wire and crimps the button. In a second embodiment, the wire further includes an internally threaded screw or helix. In the related method, the threaded wire is implanted ante grade or retrograde into the first bone segment and a button is crimped to the wire to apply compression to a second bone segment either cutaneously or percutaneously.
