ABSTRACT:
A nail for use with repairing a bone fracture. The nail includes a cutting tip formed of at least one facet defining a cutting edge. The facet is skewed with respect to a primary longitudinal axis extending through the nail from the proximal end to the distal end. The nail further includes at least one groove extending longitudinally on the nail from the distal end to the proximal end, the groove having a cutting edge used to increase or enlarge the entry opening as the diameter of the nail increases from the distal end to the proximal end.
