The investigators aim is to determine if the cannulated Bone Bolt® screw system will provide improved post-operative pain control as compared to standard cannulated screw system fixation for the operative treatment of LC1 fractures (primary outcome). Hypothesis: Patients treated with the cannulated Bone Bolt® screw system will experience a clinically important difference (1.5 points) in post-operative pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) compared to patients treated with standard cannulated screw system fixation.
