Abstract:
An implant for fixation of a bone includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and a longitudinal axis defined between the proximal end and the distal end. A plurality of blades are disposed on the shaft, and are helically twisted about the longitudinal axis. At least one of the blades has a variable blade width that increases in a direction along the longitudinal axis. A mechanism for coupling the implant to a second fracture fixation implant may be provided separately or in combination.

Claim (Index 21):
A system for fixation of a bone, comprising:\n a first bone implant extending from a proximal end to a distal end defining a first longitudinal axis and configured to be inserted into a bone, the first bone implant including a channel extending therethrough along the first longitudinal axis; a second bone implant including a shaft defining a second longitudinal axis and a plurality of blades disposed on a portion of the shaft and helically twisted about the second longitudinal axis, the second bone implant configured to be inserted through a bore of the first bone implant, the bore being disposed at an angle with respect to the first longitudinal axis; and a locking member sized and shaped to be inserted into the channel, the locking member including at least one prong extending therefrom parallel to a longitudinal axis of the locking member, the prong including a first engagement surface, the first engagement surface configured to engage a second engagement surface on the second bone implant to prevent rotation of the second bone implant within the first implant.
