The present invention provides a method for stabilizing a fractured bone. The method includes positioning an elongate rod in the medullary canal of the fractured bone and forming a passageway through the cortex of the bone. The passageway extends from the exterior surface of the bone to the medullary canal of the bone. The method also includes creating a bonding region on the elongate rod. The bonding region is generally aligned with the passageway of the cortex. Furthermore, the method includes positioning a fastener in the passageway of the cortex and on the bonding region of the elongate rod and thermally bonding the fastener to the bonding region of the elongate rod while the fastener is positioned in the passageway of the cortex.

Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé de stabilisation d'un os fracturé. Le procédé comprend la mise en place d'une tige allongée dans le canal médullaire de l'os fracturé et la formation d'un passage à travers le cortex de l'os. Le passage s'étend de la surface extérieure de l'os jusqu'au canal médullaire de l'os. Le procédé comprend également la création d'une zone de liaison sur la tige allongée. La zone de liaison est généralement alignée avec le passage du cortex. Par ailleurs, le procédé comprend la mise en place d'une agrafe dans le passage du cortex et sur la zone de liaison de la tige allongée, et la liaison thermique de l'agrafe à la zone de liaison de la tige allongée tandis que l'agrafe est placée dans le passage du cortex.
