The tubular splint has a tubular shell with a slot extending from one end to the other. A first clamp bracket with a plurality of bores is fixed to the tubular shell adjacent to a first side of the slot. A second clamp bracket, with a plurality of threaded bores that are in substantially axial alignment with the plurality of bores in the first clamp bracket, is fixed to the tubular shell adjacent to a second side of the slot. A screw passes through each bore and screws into one of the plurality of threaded bores. A worm is journaled on one of the clamp brackets, engages a worm wheel on each screw and rotates all of the screws simultaneously. A wedge member can be secured to the bone and engaged by the shell.
