Abstract:
1. Implant for treating a proximal fracture of the humerus, with at least one distal and at least one proximal part which are arranged so as to be displaceable axially relative to each other to modify the length of the implant and have guide surfaces cooperating with each other, characterized in that the distal and the proximal part have stops cooperating with each other for limiting the axial relative displacement, that the distal and the proximal part are freely displaceable relative to each other within the delimitations defined by the stops, that the proximal and the distal part are respectively provided with at least one transverse bore for receiving and/or fastening fixing means, and that means are provided for locking the relative twisting of the two parts about the implant axis, and wherein the guide surfaces respectively have at least one groove running in an axial direction, in the shared cross-section of which a rod is received.
