PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for treating bone fracture.SOLUTION: A device may include one or both of an implant, such as an intramedullary nail 100, and a fastening assembly 200, such as a lag screw 202 and a compression screw assembly 204. The implant has a proximal section with a transverse aperture 118.The fastening assembly 200 may be received to slide, in a controlled way, in the transverse aperture of the implant. An engaging member and a compression device are configured so that the compression device interacts with a portion of the implant and a portion of the engaging member to enable controlled movement between the first and second bone fragments. This configuration is useful for, among other things, compressing a fracture. |
