ABSTRACT:
A humeral nail includes an elongated body, a plurality of interlocking devices and a locking device. The elongated body is at least partially insertable into a medullary canal of a humerus and has a proximal part with a plurality of orifices. The interlocking devices are insertable into the orifices to interlock initially split humeral fragments. The locking device is capable of locking the interlocking devices within the orifices. The locking device is free to move relative to the body between a free passage position in which the locking device enables free passage of the interlocking devices through the orifices, and a locking position in which the locking device locks the interlocking devices in position with respect to the orifices. The locking device has a plurality of openings, each of which has a free passage portion in alignment with a corresponding orifice when the locking device is in the free passage position, and a locking portion in alignment with the corresponding orifice and in engagement with a corresponding interlocking device when the locking device is in the locking position.
