An intramedullary implant for use between first and second bone parts, the implant comprising:
- a first threaded end for anchoring to the first bone part;
- a second end extending from the first end for anchoring to the second bone part, the second end having a longitudinal axis, a body portion, and a plurality of teeth projecting from the body portion, wherein at least a first tooth of the plurality of teeth is spaced from a second tooth of the plurality of teeth in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the second end, the first and second teeth extending from the body portion in a same direction, and at least the first tooth extending from the body portion in a different direction than a direction a third tooth of the plurality of teeth extends from the body portion.
An intramedullary implant for use between first and second bone parts, the implant comprising:
- a first threaded end for anchoring to the first bone part;
- a second end extending from the first end for anchoring to the second bone part and having a plurality of outwardly projecting teeth, at least a first tooth of the plurality of teeth spaced from a second tooth of the plurality of teeth in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the second end, and at least the first tooth extending in a different direction than a third tooth of the plurality of teeth, the second end having an opening in a median portion thereof.
