Universal diaphyseal components that can be inserted as bone anchors include the proximal humerus, the phalanges, the distal or proximal tibia, the distal or proximal femur, or the thumb to axially insert the diaphysis into the internal bone cavity. Inserting the outer surface of the diaphysis into the inner wall of the cavity, wherein the diaphysis has a proximal end and a distal end and at least one screw on the outer surface of the diaphysis between the ends. The at least one screw generates an axial compressive force on the bone when screwing the diaphysis into the bone cavity, and the compressive force is applied to the bone over the entire length of the at least one screw. Is characterized by being uniformly dispersed along. [Selection diagram] FIG. |
