Claim 4:
5. A device for fusing a first bone fracture fragment to a second bone fracture fragment, the SIFS comprising at least a first arm and a second arm defined by:
a first lateral surface having a first curvature;
a second lateral surface, opposite the first lateral surface, having a second curvature;
the first lateral surface being spaced from the second lateral surface by a depth that defines a first side and a second side;
a cannulation that extends from the first side, through the SIFS and terminates at the second side;
the first curvature and the second curvature providing a lazy-S shape such that the first lateral surface contacts the second lateral surface at a first junction and a second junction, the first junction being disposed proximate the first lateral surface to form the first arm and the second junction being disposed proximate the second lateral surface to form the second arm;
the first junction providing a first plurality of projections, and the second junction providing a second plurality of projections, wherein
each projection in the first plurality of projections is spaced from a first lateral line by a first distance that is unique within the first plurality of projections;
each projection in the second plurality of projections is spaced from a second lateral line by a second distance that is unique within the second plurality of projections.
