Content
Figure 1B is a perspective side view of the intramedullary nail 100 of FIG. 1A, according to one embodiment. The intramedullary nail 100 serves to provide weight bearing load, axial loading, and structural support for the long bone (e.g., femur 102) of a patient. The intramedullary nail 100 may be made from a variety of biocompatible materials used in IMDFs. The intramedullary nail 100 may be hollow along its length. The passage through the intramedullary nail 100 may permit deployment of the intramedullary nail 100 along a guide wire. The intramedullary nail 100 may have a longitudinal cross section that is circular, ovoid, polygonal, or the like.
