Patent

CA 2035438

A medullary nail (10) has a cavity (12) in which an inner part (20) can slide longitudinally without being able to rotate. The wall (11) of the medullary nail (10) which forms the cavity (12) is traversed on opposite sides by an elongated hole (16) in the region of the driving-in end (14). At least one fastening hole (22) aligned flush with the elongated hole (16) is provided in the inner part (20). When the connecting screws are driven into the spaced fastening holes (15, 16, 22) and an osteotomy is located between the connecting screws (15, 22), the edges of the osteotomy are moved apart as the inner part slides longitudinally, and the slowly widening gap between the edges of the osteotomy becomes filled with bone tissue.
