A self-drilling, self-tapping screw for use in repairing broken bones. The screw is made of a high strength material selected from the group consisting of titanium alloys, chrome cobalt, and high strength resinous polymer. The screw has threw segments: a tip region, a body region and a head region. The tip and body regions have a retention thread formed over substantially their entire lengths. The tip has an included angle .alpha. in the range between 45.degree. and 50.degree.. The head region is specifically designed to maximize the torque it can withstand and minimize the amount of material removed in formation of the recess. The head has a generally frusto-conical shape with an included angle of between 90.degree. and 120.degree. to prevent pull through while minimizing the head's profile. The retention threads on the tip region and the body region have similar shapes and pitches with the pitch on the tip region being slightly smaller than the pitch on the body region. Each of the retention threads has a lead angle between 48.degree. and 52.degree., and a trailing angle between 98.degree. and 102.degree., as measured from the centerline of the screw.

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a driver may include an electric motor coupled to a bit interface. The bit interface may include a generally cylindrical body having first and second hollow portions. The first hollow portion may be on one end of the generally cylindrical body and may define a generally cylindrical hole. The second hollow portion may abut the first hollow portion and define an oblong channel. The oblong channel may be further defined by first and second parallel flat walls. The cylindrical body may also include a first transverse groove.

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an osteodistraction device includes a flexible rod having a threaded portion. A distraction arm that includes a rod guide is coupled to the threaded portion of the flexible rod through a threaded hole near one end of the distraction arm. The rod guide of the distraction arm is operable to slide through a pivoting guide that is coupled to the distraction arm. An adjustment screw is coupled to the pivoting guide and is operable to rotate the distraction arm from a first to a second orientation. The flexible rod is operable to change the position of the rod guide relative to the pivoting guide.

A cranial flap fixation system and method are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a rod having first and second ends, and an intermediate portion. The rod has a threaded portion between the first end and the intermediate portion. The system also includes an inferior disk coupled with the rod, proximate the first end of the rod, and a superior disk with an orifice through a central region of the superior disk. The orifice is sized to allow the superior disk to engage the threaded portion and movably couple the superior disk to the rod. The system further includes an installation tool having a central cavity. The installation tool is configured to engage the superior disk and the threaded portion, such that rotation of the installation tool in a first direction directs the superior disk toward the inferior disk.
