Abstract
A method and device to correct hammertoes. The device includes an elongated device having a first threaded end with a first thread pitch and a second threaded end with a second thread pitch. A core connects the first and second threaded ends. When the implant is implanted into a joint and rotated about its longitudinal axis when mated with a driver, a target joint may be compressed using the first thread pitch on a distal bone in the joint and the second thread pitch on a proximate bone in the joint. The first and second thread pitches may be the same but in opposing directions, may be different but in the same direction, or may be different and in opposing directions.
