<p>A bone staple (10), formed of shape-memory alloy, and apparatus (60, 90, 100, 140) for deforming the staple (10) to simultaneously facilitate its insertion into the bone and increase its length span to a desired value, a deformation applied by the apparatus (60, 90, 100, 140) being maintained within an allowable range to insure that the staple (10) will resume its austenitic shape upon transformation to the austenitic phase.</p> |
