A bone nail for upper arm fractures has a hollow shank for insertion in the proximal end portion of the medulary canal. The shank has a distal end provided with a plurality of slots and an internal thread beyond the slotted portion. A threaded element having a shank with a threaded portion cooperates with the internal thread and further has an expansion body at its head portion. The expansion body is drawn into the shank and expands the slotted portion radially upon a rotation of the threaded element. The expansion body is supported by the head of the threaded element for rotation relative to the element.

Cette invention concerne un clou d'ostéosynthèse servant à réduire et solidariser deux fragments d'un humérus, ledit clou ayant une tige creuse à insérer dans le bout proximal du canal médullaire. La tige comporte une extrémité distale caractérisée par une série de fentes et une partie taraudée au-delà de la partie à fentes. Un élément fileté destiné à se visser dans ladite partie taraudée comporte un expanseur qui pénètre au vissage dans la partie à fentes dont il repousse les parois radialement.
