Disclosed is a fracture fixation device, for reducing and compressing fractures
in a bone. The fixation device includes an elongate body comprising a first portion
and a second portion that are detachably coupled to each other. The first portion
defines a helical cancellous bone anchor and the second portion defines a distal
end. An axially moveable proximal anchor is carried by the proximal end of the
fixation device and is rotationally locked to the first portion. The device is
rotated into position across the femoral neck and into the femoral head, and the
proximal anchor is distally advanced to lock the device into place. The second
portion is then detached from the first portion.
