Abstract
Apparatus and methods for repairing a bone. The apparatus and methods may involve transferring a mechanical load from a first bone fragment to a second bone fragment. For example, the first bone fragment may be at the end of the bone. The second bone fragment may be in the diaphyseal region of the bone. The bone fragment at the end of the bone may be separated by a fracture from the bone fragment in the diaphyseal region of the bone. The fracture may interfere with transmission of the load from the bone fragment at the end of the bone to the bone fragment in the diaphyseal region of the bone. Transmission of the load across the fracture by the apparatus may promote healing of the fracture.
