Patent ID: 8734448

Claim:
An implant assembly for treating proximal femur fractures and same side fractures of a shaft of a femur, including: A) a one piece intramedullary nail comprising a first plurality of proximal holes and a first plurality of distal holes, B) a targeting device connectable to said intramedullary nail comprising a second plurality of proximal holes and a second plurality of distal holes, wherein said second plurality of distal holes are placed offset vertically at a distance d 1 >0 in relation to the second plurality of proximal holes, a) wherein each of said first plurality of proximal holes defining a proximal centerline extending through a center of corresponding second plurality of proximal holes of said targeting device and extendable through a midsection of a head portion and a neck portion of said femur, said proximal centerline intersects with a longitudinal axis of said intramedullary nail defining a first plane of center for of each of said first plurality of proximal holes, b) wherein each of said first plurality of distal holes defining a distal centerline extending through a center of corresponding second plurality of distal holes of said targeting device and extendable through a midsection of said shaft of said femur, said distal centerline intersects substantially perpendicular with the longitudinal axis of said intramedullary nail defining a second plane of center for each of said first plurality of distal holes and; c) wherein said first plane of center for each of first plurality of proximal holes intersects at an angle a 1 with said second plane of center for each of first plurality of distal holes substantially all along the longitudinal axis, C) a buttress plate comprising a plurality of central large holes and a plurality of small holes wherein at least one of said plurality of central large holes is characterized having a slit of at least 2 millimeter, and; a plurality of barrels.
