Abstract: A temperature sensitive fastener is formed by extruding, then pulforming and then machining the fastener. The pulforming forms uniaxial longitudinal stress in the fastener. The fastener has a head and a shank. The fastener is positioned in an osteosynthesis plate so that an opening in the plate is substantially coaxial with the bore on the bone. The shank extends into the opening in the plate and into one of the bone portions. The head overlies the plate. The fastener is heated to relieve the stresses in the shank so that the shank expands to frictionally secure the shank to the bore without deforming the material and thereby preventing thermal necrosis.
