A compression interlocking system for stabilizing long bone fractures, comprises an elongated intramedullary rod having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis, the rod adapted for extending within a bore generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of a long bone from a proximal end of the bone to beyond a fracture of the bone, a threaded member for fixing the proximal end of the rod to a first portion of a bone having a fracture, a second member for fixing the distal end to a second portion of the bone having the fracture, and a cam for moving the second portion of the bone toward the first portion of the bone for closing and applying compression to the fracture.
