Abstract The humerus nail according to the invention comprises a shaft to be proximally inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus, wherein the entire length of the shaft is straight. The shaft includes a pair of cross bores in the proximal region thereof. Furthermore, axis parallel slots are provided at the distal shaft end. Due to the straight extension of the shaft, the humerus nail may be proximally inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus In an appropriate position, wherein the position of the cross bores is not yet fixed since the straight shaft can be rotated about the longitudinal axis after being inserted. The appropriate position of the cross bore is selected such that the screw to be inserted into the cross bore in anchoring the nail cannot hurt a nerve path. The position of the cross bore may be detected by a target means of known structure.
