Abstract

A compression transmission collar apparatus (20) for implantation into a bone (22) with a hole (28) having a hole wall (32) comprising an intramedullary nail (34) defining a bore (40) and a threaded fastener (42) and a compression transmission collar (58) including an exterior face (64) and a top edge (60) and a bottom edge (62) and a first end (70) intersecting the top edge (60) at an acute angle and the bottom edge (62) at an obtuse angle and a second end (72) intersecting the top edge (60) at an obtuse angle and the bottom edge (62) at an acute angle and the first end (70) partially overlapping and opposing the second end (72) to define a slit (74) such that applying a compressional load to the top edge (60) causes the first end (70) to slide relative to and along the second end (72) causing the compression transmission collar (58) to compress axially and expand radially pressing the exterior face (64) against the hole wall (32).
