Paragraph Number

51

Referring to FIG. 1C and 1D, in one embodiment, the offset section 116 includes a first bend 118 and a second bend 120. The first bend 118 and second bend 120 may be described by how the bends are angled in relation to the longitudinal axis 114 of the intramedullary nail 100. For example, in one embodiment, the first bend 118 is angled posteriorly from the longitudinal axis 114 when the intramedullary nail 100 is deployed within a long bone of a patient. The first bend 118 may define a first angle 126 between the longitudinal axis 114 and a body 128 of the offset section 116. The first angle 126 may be a variety of angles and may range from between about 3 degrees and about 90 degrees. In certain embodiments, the first angle 126 may be about 45 degrees.
