Fixation device for metaphyseal long bone fractures

A bone fracture fixation device comprising:

• a) a tapered nail portion including at least one screw hole;
• and
• b) a relatively flatter plate portion provided with at least one threaded peg hole, said plate portion including three longitudinally displaced peg holes.

A bone fracture fixation device, comprising:

• a) an elongate nail portion having a relatively stiff and non resilient portion;
• and
• b) a longitudinally displaced relatively flatter plate portion being non-coaxial with said nail portion, said plate portion including at least one hole with a threaded portion said plate portion extending parallel to said relatively stiff and non-resilient portion of said nail portion.

A bone fracture fixation device comprising:

• a) an elongate nail portion having a relatively stiff and non resilient portion;
• and
• b) a longitudinally displaced relatively flatter plate portion being non-coaxial with said nail portion, said plate portion including at least one hole with a threaded portion, said plate portion including a plurality of holes, each said hole including a threaded portion.

A bone fracture fixation device for use in a bone having a diaphyseal portion and a metaphyseal portion and having a fracture at or adjacent the metaphyseal portion, said device comprising:

• a) a nail portion provided with means for fixing said nail portion to the diaphyseal portion of bone;
• and
• b) a plate portion defining a threaded peg hole adapted to receive a peg having a head with corresponding threads such that the peg can be received into the threaded peg hole in alignment with a single axis.

A bone fracture fixation device, comprising:

• a) an elongate nail portion including a relatively flexible section and a relatively rigid section relatively larger in diameter than said relatively flexible section;
• and
• b) a plate portion including a plurality of threaded peg holes, said plate portion being parallel to but not coaxial with said nail portion.

A bone fracture fixation device for use with a plurality of pegs each having a threaded head portion, said device comprising:

• a) an elongate nail portion;
• and
• b) a longitudinally displaced relatively flatter plate portion including a plurality of longitudinally displaced threaded peg holes, said peg holes having axes adapted to provide the pegs inserted into said peg holes in an arrangement in which at least two of the pegs extend in discrete directions.
