Patent ID: 8460294

Claim:
An intramedullary nail defining a proximal end and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end along a longitudinal axis, the intramedullary nail comprising: a shaft extending between the proximal and the distal ends, the shaft defining an opening at the proximal end, and a cavity that extends from the opening toward the nail distal end, the cavity having a proximal portion disposed at the proximal end, an eccentric portion that is distal to the proximal portion, and a distal portion that is distal to the eccentric portion, the eccentric portion of the cavity defining an eccentric portion center axis, the eccentric portion center axis being offset from the longitudinal axis; a locking hole extending transversely through the nail sized and shaped to receive an anchor therethrough; a first insert sized and shaped for insertion into the proximal and eccentric portions of the cavity, the first insert defining a first insert body extending between an insert proximal end and an insert distal end, a projection that protrudes distally from the insert distal end, the insert body having a circular cross-sectional dimension, the projection configured to be received by the eccentric portion of the cavity, and a transverse bore extending through the first insert body, wherein the first insert is configured such that the projection can be inserted into the eccentric portion of the cavity and the locking hole and the transverse bore are aligned, a second insert sized and shaped to be received within the cavity, the second insert extending between a second insert proximal end and a second insert distal end, the second insert configured such that when the second insert is inserted into the cavity, the second insert distal end is adjacent to the insert proximal end of the first insert.
