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 11):
An intramedullary fixation device, comprising:\n an arrowhead-shaped proximal head comprising a proximal end having a tip, the proximal 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 proximal head in a proximal direction, the proximal head being sized to fit within an intramedullary canal of a proximal portion of a first bone; an arrowhead-shaped distal head comprising a distal end having a tip, the distal head being sized to fit within an intramedullary canal of a distal portion of a second bone; and a rigid body extending between the proximal head and the distal head, the rigid body comprising an intermediate portion, a proximal neck portion connecting the rigid body to the proximal head, and a distal neck portion connecting the rigid body to the distal head, the proximal and distal neck portions having a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-section area of the intermediate portion.
