Abstract: Devices and methods for repairing bone fractures are described herein. A pin directing device for steering a flexible bone screw is disclosed. A fluted entry tool for penetrating into cancellous bone without penetrating the far cortex of the bone is disclosed. A flexible bone screw having a rotational position marker positioned thereon at a terminal twenty-five percent of the shaft is disclosed. A flexible bone screw comprising at least eighty percent cold work hardened alloy is disclosed. A pin bending clamp having a transverse hole in the jaws is disclosed. A flexible bone screw with a cortex climbing thread portion at the tip, which is helicoid, is also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of present invention disclose spinal screws having first and second heads for a versatile screw-rod construct to achieve spinal stabilization for patients with unstable spines. The first and second heads are used to connect first and second rods at the same bone anchor location. The first and second heads can accept rods of different diameter, materials and/or stiffness in order to accommodate the anatomical needs of the spine of a patient. Further, the first and second heads can positioned side by side to accommodate parallel rods or perpendicular to each other to accommodate rods with cross link rods. Further, the position of the first and second heads can be adjusted relative to each other.
