  • Publication number: 20060074421
    Abstract: A Fixation Augmentation Device (FAD) is presented. The FAD includes a tubular body or sleeve (902) having a collar (904) disposed on a first end thereof. The sleeve is provided having an outside diameter selected such that the sleeve fits into a hole drilled in a bone. The collar at the first or proximal end of the sleeve prevents advancement of the FAD into the hole with screw insertion. Flanges (908) are provided at the distal portion of the sleeve to provide interference fixation of the FAD to the bone, thereby allowing the screw and FAD to obtain purchase where a screw alone would have failed or otherwise have inadequate fixation. The FAD is also designed to collapse as it is withdrawn from the drill hole in the event of removal of the device is desired.
