Figures 1A – 1H illustrate an embodiment that incorporates the offset section 116 into a single implant (e.g., intramedullary nail 100) that can be deployed in the intramedullary canal of a patient. In particular, the offset section 116 enables retrograde deployment from the distal end of the long bone where the long bone includes an arthroplasty implant at a distal end of the long bone. Of course other alternative embodiments of an offset section 116 are within the scope of the present disclosure. Figures 2A-2G illustrate one alternative embodiment.
