ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an intramedullary nail used to unite the separated fragments of a fractured long bone. It has a C-shaped bar-like appearance having a flat front section seen from the direction of insertion as well as a connecting part and, if necessary, a slit in its distal portion. The flat section prevents the rotation of the nail and supports load; the connecting part is used to extract the nail out from the medullary canal; and a stopper for prevention of the rotation is attached to the slit. Such a nail exhibits a stable fixing effect.
