An extramedullary compression and fixation apparatus consists of a pre-curved, malleable band having a first end and a second end, and at least one bone engaging structure protruding from the band toward an interior space defined by the band. The band is configured to be compressed (e.g., crimped) over a bone fracture site to conform the curvature of the band to a curvature of a surface of bone around the bone fracture site. The at least one bone engaging structure is configured to dig into the outer cortex of the bone when the band is compressed. The band is configured to maintain compression of the bone across the bone fracture upon the band being compressed without additional external fixation devices.
