Abstract
A method of fixing a proximal bone mass to a distal bone mass can include driving a guide wire through the proximal bone mass and the distal bone mass to define a path through the proximal bone mass and the distal bone mass. The method can include inserting a suture from the proximal bone mass into the distal bone mass along the path defined by the guide wire and fixing the suture to the distal bone mass. The method can further include tensioning the suture to draw the distal bone mass against the proximal bone mass.
