An implant (1) for applying compression across a fracture site in a bone, the implant (1) comprising a wire element (3) having two spaced adjacent legs (4) adapted to be implanted longitudinally in the bone across the fracture site. The wire element (3) extends outwardly of the bone whereat the legs (4) are bent and extend backwardly into juxtaposition with the legs (4) in the bone and are joined by a U-shaped connecting portion (11). A tensioning device (20) is engageable with the connecting portion (11) and with a fixation device (103) secured to the bone to apply force to the connection portion (11) and produce tension in the wire element (3) to develop compression across the fracture site.

L'invention concerne un implant (1) destin~ ~ comprimer une fracture osseuse, cet implant (1) comprenant un ~l~ment de fil (3) comportant deux segments adjacents espac~s (4) con×us pour Útre implant~s longitudinalement dans l'os ~ travers la fracture. L'~l~ment de fil (3) reste en dehors de l'os alors que les segments (4) sont courb~s et s'~tendent, en revenant vers l'arri­re, de fa×on juxtapos~e, les segments (4) se trouvant ~ l'int~rieur de l'os et ~tant reli~s par une portion de connexion en forme de U (11). Un dispositif de mise sous tension (20) s'engage dans la portion de connexion en U (11) et permet, avec un dispositif de r~duction (103) fix~ ~ l'os, d'appliquer une force sur la portion de connexion (11) et de produire une tension dans l'~l~ment de fil (3) afin de comprimer la fracture.
