Humeral head fixation device for osteoporotic bone

A device for treating a bone, comprising:

• an elongated body configured to be coupled to a bone stabilization implant positioned over an outer surface of a bone so that, when the bone stabilization implant is mounted to a target bone in a desired position, the elongated body extends away from the bone stabilization implant at an angle selected so that the elongated body passes into a target portion of bone along a desired path, the elongated body defining a lumen therein extending to an opening in a distal end of the elongated body;
• a deploying member housed within the lumen of the elongated body for movement between a first position and a second position;
• and
• a plurality of wires coupled to the deploying member so that movement of the deploying member through the lumen moves the wires between an insertion position in which distal ends of the wires are housed within the lumen and a deployed position in which the distal ends of the wires extend distally out of the opening in the distal end of the elongated body to penetrate a portion of bone adjacent to the distal end of the elongated body, the wires being biased to assume an anchoring shape when extended out of the elongated body,
• wherein the wires are coupled to an outer surface of the deploying member via protrusions at proximal ends thereof.
