Abstract
A nail device includes a plurality of segments fastened together by a resorbable bioadhesive such that the plurality of segments are gradually disassociated after the nail device is implanted into a bone. The disassociated segments exhibit less bending and torsional strength and stiffness than the fastened plurality of segments to reduce stress shielding for the bone.
