Apparatus for fixing a fracture of a bone includes an elongated body member having a distal end for insertion into the intramedullary canal of the bone; a tab member for fastening; and a bolt for selectively removably coupling the tab member to the proximal end of the body member. Preferably, the tab member is of a hollow cylindrical configuration and removably interlocking the first plate member to a second plate member. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes a body member for insertion into a bone cavity, the body member having at least one aperture disposed in close proximity to its first end to allow for passage of a screw for fastening the body member to the bone. Apparatus for fixing a bone fracture includes a first elongated plate member having at least one aperture so as to permit passage of a screw for attachment to the outer surface of a first portion of the bone. The first plate member has a predetermined curvature so as to conform generally to the curvature of the first portion of the bone. A second elongated plate member has a predetermined curvature so as to conform generally to the curvature of the second portion of the bone. A C-shaped channel on the first end of the first plate member enables selectively removably interlocking of the first plate member to the second plate member.
