Content
The adapter 204 includes a second coupling 218, a third coupling 220, and a body 222. The second coupling 218 is configured to engage the first coupling 216. The third coupling 220 is configured to engage a fourth coupling of an inserter (See FIG. 3A). The body 222 may include a first bend 224 at one end and a second bend 226 at an opposite end. The first bend 224 sits between the second coupling 218 and the body 222 and directs the body 222 posteriorly in relation to the second coupling 218 and the longitudinal axis 212 of the intramedullary nail 202. The second bend 226 sits between the body 222 and the third coupling 220 and directs the body 222 posteriorly in relation to the third coupling 220 and the longitudinal axis 212 of the intramedullary nail 202. In certain embodiments, the second bend 226 directs the third coupling 220 such that the third coupling 220 extends from the body 222 parallel to the longitudinal axis 212. In one embodiment, the first bend 224 is angled posteriorly from the longitudinal axis 212 and the second bend 226 is angled anteriorly from the longitudinal axis 212 such that the third coupling 220 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis 212.
