Abstract: The invention provides an osteosynthesis and compression screw that is self-boring and self-tapping for the purpose of coaptation of small bone fragments. The screw comprises: a proximal portion formed by a screw head provided with an outside thread; an intermediate portion having no thread; and a distal portion provided with an outside thread. Wherein: each of the screw head and the distal portion includes at least one groove, firstly extending over the entire axial length of its thread, and secondly being formed through each thread in such a manner to form tapping means; and the terminal zone of the distal portion is provided with preparation means for preparing a housing in the bone fragments for receiving the intermediate and distal portions of the screw.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixation kit (1) comprising an assembly part (2) comprising a housing comprising a first and second fixation member each comprising a head, said kit being characterized in that said housing is designed to cooperate with either of the fixation members and being shaped to create a seat against which the head is intended to rest, the seat and the head being shaped so that the cooperation of the seat and the head of the first fixation member locks the latter, and so that the cooperation of the seat and the head of the second fixation member enables a variation of the orientation thereof.
