An implant , comprising: an intramedullary nail having: an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having a proximal portion and a distal portion , the elongate body being cannulated by having a channel extending from the proximal end to the distal end ; a first aperture formed in the proximal portion , a first portion of the channel extending from the proximal end of the elongate body to the first aperture being threaded; and a first fixation device positionable through the first aperture in the nail, the first fixation device having an outer planar surface ; and an externally threaded set screw having a top surface , a planar bottom surface , the set screw being threadingly received in the first portion of the channel such that a portion of the planar bottom surface contacts the outer planar surface of the first fixation device ; wherein a second aperture is formed in the distal portion of the elongate body of the intramedullary nail , the second aperture being spaced apart from the first aperture and the second aperture being elongated to allow a second fixation device to linearly translate along the length of the second aperture , and characterized in that the externally threaded set screw is externally threaded along its length from the top surface to the planar bottom surface , in that the first portion of the channel is internally threaded along its entire length and in that the externally threaded set screw is threadingly received in the first portion of the channel 450 such that a portion of the planar bottom surface contacts one of the outer planar surfaces of the first fixation device , thereby securing the first fixation device to the nail . an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having a proximal portion and a distal portion , the elongate body being cannulated by having a channel extending from the proximal end to the distal end ; a first aperture formed in the proximal portion , a first portion of the channel extending from the proximal end of the elongate body to the first aperture being threaded; and a first fixation device positionable through the first aperture in the nail, the first fixation device having an outer planar surface ; and an externally threaded set screw having a top surface , a planar bottom surface , the set screw being threadingly received in the first portion of the channel such that a portion of the planar bottom surface contacts the outer planar surface of the first fixation device ; wherein a second aperture is formed in the distal portion of the elongate body of the intramedullary nail , the second aperture being spaced apart from the first aperture and the second aperture being elongated to allow a second fixation device to linearly translate along the length of the second aperture , and characterized in that the externally threaded set screw is externally threaded along its length from the top surface to the planar bottom surface , in that the first portion of the channel is internally threaded along its entire length and in that the externally threaded set screw is threadingly received in the first portion of the channel 450 such that a portion of the planar bottom surface contacts one of the outer planar surfaces of the first fixation device , thereby securing the first fixation device to the nail . <EOS>
