Abstract:
An internal intramedullary fixation device for the stabilization of bone in arthrodesis and fractures of the foot and hand is disclosed. During implantation in the medullary canal of each bone, the device grasps the edges of the canal, stabilizing the bone (internally) during the natural healing process.

Claim (Index 1):
An intramedullary fixation device, comprising:\n an arrowhead-shaped distal head comprising a distal end having a tip, the distal head further comprising first, second, third, and fourth outwardly facing side surfaces forming a pyramidal shape, the first and third side surfaces being opposed from each other and forming a first angle, and the second and fourth side surfaces being opposed from each other and forming a second angle, each of the first and third side surfaces having a proximal edge configured to engage tissue and inhibit rotational movement and inhibit axial movement of the distal head in a proximal direction, the distal head being sized to fit within an intramedullary canal of a distal portion of a first bone; an arrowhead-shaped proximal head comprising a proximal end having a tip, the proximal head being sized to fit within an intramedullary canal of a proximal portion of a second bone; and a rigid body connecting the distal head and the proximal head, the rigid body comprising an intermediate portion, a distal neck portion connecting the rigid body to the distal head, and a proximal neck portion connecting the rigid body to the proximal head, the distal and proximal neck portions having a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-section area of the intermediate portion.
