Intermediate femoral nail

A femoral nail, comprising:

• a proximal portion configured to engage a driving tool for driving the femoral nail into a femur;
• a distal portion remote from the proximal portion;
• and
• an intermediate portion extending from and between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the intermediate portion having a circular screw hole and an elongated screw hole extending therethrough, the circular screw hole having a central axis, and the elongated screw hole having a first axis and a second axis that are separated by a distance,
• wherein the central axis of the circular screw hole is located a distance from a proximal end of the femoral nail that is 61-64% of a total length of the femoral nail, and the first axis of the elongated screw hole is located a distance from the proximal end of the femoral nail that is 70-73% of the total length of the femoral nail, and
• wherein the intermediate portion includes first and second curved segments and first and second straight segments, the first curved segment defining a proximal extent of the intermediate portion and the second straight segment defining a distal extent of the intermediate portion, the second curved segment being disposed between the first and second straight segments and having a radius of curvature in a first plane, the straight segment having the circular screw hole and the elongated screw hole extending therethrough.

A femoral nail, comprising:

• a proximal portion configured to engage a driving tool for driving the femoral nail into a femur and defining a proximal end of the femoral nail;
• a distal portion remote from the proximal portion and defining a distal end of the femoral nail;
• and
• an intermediate portion extending from and between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the intermediate portion having a curved segment and a straight segment extending from the curved segment, the straight segment having a proximal extent, a distal extent, and a circular screw hole and an elongated screw hole extending therethrough,
• wherein the proximal extent and the distal extent of the straight segment are respectively 57-60% and 80-83% of a total length of the femoral nail from the proximal end thereof.
