Abstract:
1. An intramedullary fixation assembly for bone fusion, comprising: a first screw member comprising a first shaft extending from a first terminal end to a second terminal end, a first aperture at the first terminal end, a first threaded portion at the second terminal end for advancing said first screw member into a first bone, a longitudinal axis extending through the first aperture and the second terminal end, and a bore extending through the first aperture and a second aperture in a side of the first screw member, wherein the longitudinal axis and the bore define an angle; and a second screw member comprising a second shaft extending along a second longitudinal axis, a bulbous portion at a first end of the second screw member, and a second threaded portion at a second end of the second screw member for advancing said second screw member into a second bone, wherein the second screw member couples to the first screw member by being inserted through the second aperture and through the bore and out the first aperture until the bulbous portion abuts the first aperture and the second threaded portion extends out of the first aperture to engage the second bone, wherein the first screw member and the second screw member translate compression to the first bone and the second bone thereby drawing the bones together; wherein the second screw member couples with the first screw member at the angle.
