System and Methods For Hip Fracture Fixation with Bolt Synchronization

Abstract

A fracture fixation system includes an implant defining a transverse bore extending along a bore axis, the bore being defined by first and second passages that each extend along the bore axis. The fracture fixation system further includes a lag screw configured to be inserted through the second passage, wherein a distal portion of the lag screw includes a thread. The fracture fixation system further includes a bolt configured to be inserted through the first passage, wherein a lateral side of the bolt defines a negative thread adapted to receive the thread of the lag screw. The negative thread includes a transition portion configured to align the thread of the lag screw with the negative thread of the bolt.
