ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for fixation of a fractured bone. The apparatus includes a first elongation member that is able to at least partially be inserted into two portions of the bone, as well as a second elongated member that is operable to also be partially inserted into the two portions of the bone. The first and second elongated members include an abrasive surface that is able to resist relative rotation between elongated members and a fixation clamp to which the locking members are secured.
