Abstract:
A nail device includes a flexible nail adapted to be inserted into a medullary canal of a bone and a fixation bracket attached via a connector to a head. The nail has an elongated distal tip body and a proximal head. A longitudinal axis of the elongated body is at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the head portion. The elongated body is sized such that a top of the head portion is substantially flush with an entry opening in the bone when the nail is inserted into the medullary canal during use. The fixation bracket has a plurality of holes being sized to be substantially the same size as a diameter of a suture and sized to accept sutures therein to enable soft tissue to be anchored securely to the bone during use. The fixation bracket has a top plate and a lateral plate extending therefrom at an acute angle back towards the elongated body of the nail, the connector having a first part extending outwardly from the top of the head portion and coaxially along the longitudinal axis of the head portion, and a complementary second part formed in the top plate.

Claim (Index 8):
A humeral nail device for fixing proximal humerus fractures and rotator cuff tears, comprising:\n a flexible nail adapted to be inserted into a medullary canal of a humerus, the nail having an elongated distal tip body and a proximal head, a longitudinal axis of the elongated body being at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the head; and a fixation bracket attached via a connector to the head, the bracket having a plurality of holes sized to be substantially the same size as a diameter of a suture and sized to accept sutures therein to enable soft tissue to be anchored securely to the humerus during use, the fixation bracket having a top plate and a lateral plate extending therefrom at an acute angle back towards the elongated body of the nail, the connector having a first part extending outwardly from the top of the head and coaxially along the longitudinal axis of the head, and a complementary second part formed in the top plate.
