ABSTRACT:
A bone pin for use in repair of a bone fracture in conjunction with a tension band wire. The pin includes an elongate shaft with a leading end and a trailing end with the leading end being configured to be inserted into a bone on a first side of a fracture and across the fracture. The pin further includes a retaining band with a first end seamlessly joined to the shaft at a first point on the trailing end of the shaft and extending in a radially outward direction therefrom and a second end seamlessly joined to the shaft at a second point on the trailing end of the shaft and extending in a radially outward direction therefrom. The band further includes a middle region extending in a generally arcuate course between the first and second ends to form a closed seamless loop at the trailing end of the shaft with the loop being sized to receive a tension band wire and retain the wire in a position at least partially overlying the trailing end of the shaft.
