Abstract: A compression bone screw and a method of use thereof including a shank having longitudinally opposing first and second shank portions. The first shank portion is externally threaded with a first shank thread. The compression bone screw also including a first element threadingly mounted on the first shank portion by way of a first element internal thread threadingly engaging the first shank thread. The first element is externally threaded with a first element external thread and a second element is integrally formed with and by an enlargement of the second shank portion. The second element is externally threaded with a second element external thread, and the second element external thread and the first element external thread are like-handed.

Abstract: A compression bone screw (100) comprises a shank (110), a first element (120) and a second element (130). The shank (110) has longitudinally opposing first and second shank portions (111, 112). The first shank portion (111) is externally threaded with a first shank thread (113). The first element (120) is threadingly mounted on the first shank portion (111) by way of a first element internal thread (122) threadingly engaging the first shank thread (113). The first element (120) is externally threaded with a first element external thread (123). The second element (130) is mounted on, or integrally formed with, the second shank portion (112). The second element (130) is externally threaded with a second element external thread (133). The second element external thread (133) and the first element external thread (123) are like-handed.
