Abstract
A spinal implant system includes an elongated implant defining a distal portion interconnected to a proximal portion. The distal portion includes a set of threads for joining the distal portion with a distal part of the bone fracture. The system also includes a compression device coupled to the proximal portion of the elongated implant. The compression device is movable from an end of the proximal portion towards the distal portion of the elongated implant, wherein the compression device is structured to apply a compression force to a proximal part of the bone fracture.
