Abstract
A method of inhibiting relative movement between a first bone fragment and a second bone fragment is disclosed. The method includes the step of advancing a fastener into the second bone fragment, the advancing step causing the fastener to contact a fixation member which in turn causes a first penetration structure of the fixation member to penetrate through an outer surface of the first bone fragment. The method further includes the step of preventing further advancement of the penetration structure into the first bone fragment with a stop member of the fixation member so that a space is maintained between a lower surface of a body of the fixation member and the outer surface of the first bone fragment.
