ABSTRACT:
A nail for the osteosynthesis of fractures of femoral necks, formed of a resilient pre-curved rod having an inner end engageable into the medullary cavity of the femur through a lateral perforation drilled through the inner side of said femur in the vicinity of the process thereof and an outer end which remains exterior to said femur. The rod comprises in the vicinity of said outer end a portion which is bent twice in opposed directions to determine a shoulder which protrudes inwardly with respect to the curvature of said rod and which abuts against the edge of said perforation to retain said nail longitudinally with respect to said femur.
