Rod implant for osteosynthesis of long bones

An implant for setting a fractured bone, comprising:

• a substantially rigid rod having a first end and a second end, opposed to the first end, and having a longitudinal axis extending between the first and the second ends;
• and
• only a single pair of attachment members configured to attach the implant to the fractured bone, wherein a first of the pair of attachment members is connected to and extends beyond the first end of the rod in a first direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a second of the pair of attachment members is connected to and extends beyond the second end of the rod in a second direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the first attachment member has a first plate portion having a first angle of curvature about a first curvature axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the second attachment member has a second plate portion having a second angle of curvature about a second curvature axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis.

• wherein a cross section of the first attachment member has a first rotational orientation about the longitudinal axis, and a cross section of the second attachment member has a second rotational orientation, angularly offset from the first rotational orientation, about the longitudinal axis.

• wherein the rod includes a first rod portion having the longitudinal axis in a plane, the first attachment member has a first longitudinal axis, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first rod portion and distanced from the plane, and the second attachment member has a second longitudinal axis, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first rod portion and distanced from the plane.
