A bone fixation assembly includes a side plate (12) for mounting on a bone and a barrel (16) for receiving a portion of a lag screw (14), and configured to be inserted into a hole in the side plate. A mechanical spring (90) located at the upper portion of the barrel biases a first detent portion (92) toward a locking position with a second detent portion (54) located on the side plate such that rotation of the barrel within the hole from a first position to a second position causes a compressing portion on the detent portion to contact a compressing portion on the second detent portion thereby compressing the mechanical spring so as to allow the barrel to be rotated to a third position wherein the mechanical spring is allowed to bias the first detent portion into the locking position such that a retaining portion of the first detent is adjacent to a retaining portion of the second detent and rotation of the barrel with respect to the side plate is restricted.

A hip screw assembly for fixation of a fractured femur includes a screw and a plate for engaging the femur. It includes a barrel having a cavity therein which is secured to the plate. The screw includes a portion which is fitted in the cavity of the barrel. A stop is positioned in the barrel, to provide a limit on the movement of the screw in the barrel. The screw and the barrel define a first arrangement there between in which the screw is slidably moveable in the cavity of the barrel a first selectable predetermined distance and a second arrangement there between in which the screw is slidably moveable in the cavity of the barrel a second selectable predetermined distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

An intramedullary nail assembly (10) for use in a medullary canal (2) of a long bone (4) includes a nail (12) for positioning at least partially in the medullary canal (2). The nail (12) defines an aperture (14) through the nail (12). The nail assembly (10) also includes a screw (16). The screw is positioned in the aperture (14) of the nail (12). The screw (16) has a shank (18) defining an end (20) and a periphery (22) of the shank (18). A portion of the periphery (22) defines a thread (24). The nail assembly (10) also includes means for fixedly securing the screw (16) to the nail (12).
