Abstract
A system and method for fixation of bone portions may include a medical device and a bone quality assessment device. According to one embodiment, the bone quality assessment device is used to determine bone quality by measuring the shear strength of the bone at the site of insertion of the medical device. Once bone quality is determined, an appropriate contracting element may be selected that applies compression forces to the bone portions. In certain embodiments, the bone quality determination will also inform the level of torque applied to helical elements to secure the medical device to the bone portions.
