Abstract:
A system is proposed including an intramedullary nail with a longitudinal nail axis, a first lateral portion, a second lateral portion opposite to the first lateral portion, and a longitudinal bore. The nail has a locking hole arrangement having a first bore being formed in the first lateral portion and a second bore being formed in the second lateral portion. An axis of the first bore and an axis of the second bore are arranged with an offset from each other, and are arranged so that a locking member such as a screw may frictionally engage within both the first bore and the second bore.
