ABSTRACT:
A humeral nail for the surgical care of fractures of the proximal humerus, with a shaft which has a longitudinal axis and is provided in a proximal portion with at least transverse bores spaced apart in the axial direction. The axis of the three bores is circumferentially offset in respect to each other in planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The nail is provided with at least two additional transverse bores in a portion located towards the distal end of the nail, the proximal transverse bore running diagonally to the longitudinal axis and being located in the same plane as is the axis of the additional transverse bores.
