An apparatus (10) for attaching a first section (17) of a bone (12) to a second section (18) of the bone. The second section (18) is separated from the first section (17) by a fracture (14). The apparatus (10) comprises a bone screw (20) having a platform (24) and at least two helical spikes (50 and 52) for embedding into at least one of the first and second sections (17 and 18). The helical spikes (50 and 52) project tangentially from the platform (24). The helical spikes (50 and 58) have a tip portion (58) which penetrates into the bone (12) as the platform (24) is rotated. The bone screw (20) has a first condition in which a first portion (58) of the bone screw extends into one of the first and second sections (17 and 18) and a second condition in which a second portion (24) of the bone screw extends into the other of the first and second sections to compress the first and second sections together.

L'invention concerne un appareil (10) conçu pour fixer une première section (17) d'un os (12) à une seconde section (18) de cet os.. Le seconde section (18) est séparée de la première section (17) par une fracture (14). L'appareil comporte une vis (20) à os présentant une plate-forme (24) et au moins deux broches hélicoïdales (50 et 52) à incorporer dans au moins l'une ou l'autre première ou seconde section (17 et 18). Ces broches hélicoïdales (50 et 52), qui saillent tangentiellement de la plate-forme (24), ont une partie pointe (58) qui pénètre dans l'os (12) lorsque ladite plate-forme tourne. La vis (20) à os présente un premier état dans lequel une première partie (58) de ladite vis pénètre dans l'une ou l'autre de la première ou de la seconde section (17 et 18), et un second état dans le quel une seconde partie (24) de la vis à os pénètre dans l'autre section de la première ou de la seconde section de façon à comprimer ensemble les première et seconde sections.
