ABSTRACT:
An elongated relatively thin, elastic, flexible and resilient nail which, before emplacement in and along the medullary canal of a fractured bone, has a generally curved or arcuate form so that when flexed and stressed by insertion into and along the canal, its pointed proximal end may be facilely directed into the canal of the superjacent fragment, and finally into the trochanter. By turning the nail during emplacement the proximal end may be employed to rotate and adjust the bone fragments into correct or normal relation for healing. A tool or set is detachable connectable with the distal end of the nail, to facilitate emplacement and removal thereof.
