Claim 0:
1. An orthopaedic bone stabilization device comprising:
an elongate and integrally formed body having a length (L) extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate body further comprising:
a first threaded section comprising a head located at the proximal end, the head being configured to interface with a driver, the threaded section comprising external helical threads extending along a length (L1) of the first threaded section, the first threaded section extending between the proximal end of the elongate body and a first location of the elongate body wherein the first threaded section tapers from the proximal end to the first location such that outer thread diameter (DT1) of the first section gradually decreases from the proximal end to the first location of the elongate body, and
a second threaded section comprising external helical threads, the second threaded section having a length (L2) and a substantially uniform thread diameter (DT2) and extending between the distal end of the elongate body and a second location of the elongate body;
at least the first section further comprising one or more cutting flutes;
wherein the threads on the first section have the same pitch as the threads on the second section; and
wherein the helical threads for the first and second sections comprise the same number of starts for providing non-compressive stabilization during use.
