Abstract: A bone screw, and method of using the same, are described. The bone screw includes (1) a distal threaded portion having a first orientation, (2) a proximal head portion, and (3) an intermediate portion including a compressive member, such as but not limited to a single or double helix, integral with the distal and proximal portions, wherein the compressive member has a second orientation opposite that of the first orientation. When a force (e.g., rotational or axial) is applied to the bone screw in the first direction, the spaces between the surfaces of the compressive member increase, due to the difference in orientation. In this stressed state, a resorbable material is then applied within the spaces and is allowed to cure. Once the bone screw is inserted into the bone member, the resorbable material will begin to be resorbed, whereupon the compressive member will relax and exert tension between the bone member and any other object the bone screw is secured to.
