Abstract
A bone screw for use in joining the fractured sections of the phalanx and a method for its use are disclosed. The bone screw includes a smooth cylindrical central shaft with coarse threads at each end of the shaft. The threads can be a greater diameter than the diameter of the shaft with the threads at each end have substantially the same pitch. The threads at the two ends of the central shaft are of opposite hand; that is, the threads at one end are right handed while those at the opposite end are left handed. In one embodiment, one end of the bone screw is provided with a screw slot which will accept a screwdriving tool for inserting the screw.
