Abstract:
Intramedullary nails, systems, and methods. The intramedullary nail may include a generally elongate body extending from a first, distal end to a second, proximal end. The distal end may include one or more openings configured to receive one or more bone anchors that extend transversely through the distal end intramedullary nail, and thereby configured to secure the distal end of the nail. The proximal end may also include one or more openings configured to receive one or more bone anchors that extend transversely through the proximal end of the intramedullary nail, and thereby configured to secure the proximal end of the nail.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for inserting an intramedullary nail into a bone, the system comprising:\n an intramedullary nail having a body which defines a proximal portion and a distal portion, with at least first and second openings defined through the proximal portion of the body; and an insertion tool comprising:\n an aiming guide having an arcuate body defining at least two hole openings therethrough, each of the hole openings axially aligned with a respective one of the first and second openings and configured to receive a guide sheath therethrough, \n wherein a friction retention assembly is associated with each hole opening and includes a friction pad which retractably extends into the hole opening to engage a guide sheath positioned therein.
