A method and device to correct hammertoes. The device includes a bone implant having a screw with a threaded end or a pin and a sleeve adaptable to accept the screw or mate with the pin. The sleeve includes an external surface having threads on a distal end of the sleeve and an expanding feature along a proximate portion of the sleeve. When the implant is implanted into a joint through a percutaneous incision and the screw is rotated about its longitudinal axis when mated with the threaded portion of the sleeve, the expanding feature may be expanded compress the joint using the cancellous threads on a distal bone in the joint and the expanding feature on a proximate bone in the joint. In embodiments having pins, the pin is axially driven when locked in the sleeve by the locking mechanism thereby radially expanding the expanding feature to compress a joint using the cancellous threads on a distal bone in the joint and the expanding feature on a proximate bone in the joint.
