Abstract:
1. A femoral intramedullary nail, comprising: a shaft having a proximal region, a distal region, a medial side, a lateral side, and a central longitudinal axis extending proximally and distally, the proximal region having a non-circular cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; a reconstruction aperture in the proximal region for receiving at least one member in a reconstruction mode, the aperture oriented to target a femoral head and neck; and an antegrade aperture in the proximal region for receiving at least one member in an antegrade mode, the antegrade aperture oriented to target a lesser trochanter, the antegrade aperture having a central through axis, wherein the antegrade aperture includes an exit opening located within the reconstruction aperture; wherein the reconstruction aperture extends from the medial side to the lateral side of the nail and the central through axis of the antegrade aperture is offset from the central longitudinal axis of the nail such that the central through axis of the antegrade aperture does not intersect the central longitudinal axis of the nail.
