ABSTRACT:
A dynamic bone fixation screw for rejoining fracture fragments of a bone to their approximate original mutual dispostion. It includes a threaded distal end member for threaded engagment with one of the bone fragments and a head member at a proximal end for engagement with another of the bone fragments. A spring member integral with and extending between the distal end member and the head member enables a predetermined torque to be initially imparted to the bone. When stress relaxation in the bone occurs, the spring member relaxes accordingly while continuing to draw the bone fragments together. The bone screw is fabricated in a unique manner.
