The intramedullary nail 100, offset section 116, intramedullary nail 202, and/or adapter 204 may be made from a variety of materials. In one embodiment, the materials used have sufficient flexibility to enable the intramedullary nail 100 or intramedullary nail system 200 to be deployed into the intramedullary canal either retrograde or antegrade.
