Deployment tool for distal bone anchors with secondary compression

A deployment device for use with a bone fixation device comprising an elongate body with a distal helical anchor and a proximal anchor that is carried by the elongate body, said deployment device comprising:

• an outer component having a proximal end and a distal end;
• an inner component axially moveable within the outer component;
• a first actuator coupled to the outer component;
• a second actuator coupled to the inner component such that the first actuator is axially moveable with respect to the second actuator, the second actuator comprising a finger grip portion;
• and
• wherein the distal end of the outer component is configured to engage and rotate the proximal anchor of the bone fixation device and the inner component is removably coupled to the elongate body and configured such that proximal movement of inner component with respect to the outer component proximally withdraws the elongate body with respect to the proximal anchor.
