A device for treating fractures comprises a bone plate (110) sized and shaped for mounting on a target portion of bone, the bone plate including a lateral bore (112) extending therethrough which, when the plate is mounted on the bone in a desired orientation extends along an axis substantially parallel with an axis of a trochanter of the bone and a lateral implant (120) sized for insertion through the bore into the trochanter, the implant including a shaft (124) with a plurality of substantially helical blades (122) extending from a distal portion thereof in combination with a sleeve (126) slidably received over a proximal portion of the shaft, a keying element (140) of the sleeve engaging a mating feature (130) of the shaft to prevent relative rotation therebetween and a locking member (136) locking the sleeve in a desired position within the bore. Insertion apparatus (200, 300) allowing the lateral implant to be inserted to a desired depth is also disclosed. |
