Patent ID: 8317788

Claim:
An intramedullary pin configured for insertion into a medullary space of a femur through the lateral compacta of the trochanter major, comprising: a proximal pin section lying in a proximal end plane and an adjoining distal pin section lying in a distal end plane, the proximal pin section having a first proximal bore configured to receive at least one bone screw and a second proximal bore configured to receive at least one bone screw and the distal pin section having at least one distal bore configured to receive at least one bone screw, wherein, a first bore axis of the first proximal bore extends obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the intramedullary pin, so that at least one bone screw can be inserted through the proximal bore into the head of the femur, and wherein a second bore axis of the second proximal bore extends obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the intramedullary pin, wherein the first bore axis and the second bore axis coincide on a medial wall of the intramedullary pin; wherein the distal pin section is at least partly straight and the proximal pin section has a curvature in the lateral-posterior direction, the distal pin section having at least three planar faces defining an outer profile thereof.
