he intramedullary nail for treating a fracture of a long bone (6) has the shape of a helically twisted blade (1) with a flattened cross section extending partially or totally along the longitudinal axis (5) of the nail. The nail is provided with a hole (2) at its distal end (4) for receiving a bone fixation means (8) to be inserted transversally through said hole (2) and at least one cortex of said long bone (6). The nail is made long and thin with the smallest dimension of the cross section being much smaller than the largest dimension, so that it is flexible along the longitudinal axis of the nail.

L'invention concerne un clou intramédulaire pour traiter une fracture d'un os long (6). Ce clou a la forme d'une lame (1) disposée en hélice avec une section transversale aplatie qui s'étend partiellement, ou totalement, le long de l'axe longitudinal (5) du clou. Ce dernier est pourvu d'un trou (2) au niveau de son extrémité distale, permettant de recevoir un moyen de fixation (8) de l'os que l'on insère dans le sens transversal de ce trou (2) et au moins un cortex de cet os long (6). Le clou est long et mince; et la partie la plus petite de la section transversale est de loin inférieure à la plus grande partie; ce qui confère une certaine souplesse le long de l'axe longitudinal de ce clou.
