Abstract
An orthopedic fixation assembly for compressing bones includes a bone anchor coupled to a washer. The bone anchor includes a shaft, where the shaft extends along a radius of curvature. The bone anchor also includes a threaded end for anchoring into bone or bone fragments. The washer includes a body and a bore extending therethrough. The washer is coupled to the bone anchor by receiving the shaft within the bore. The washer is compressed against a surface of the underlying bone causing the washer to deform and apply a compressive force on the wire body and on the bone fragments.
