The intramedullary nail 100 or intramedullary nail system 200 may be used as primary fixation or secondary/supplemental fixation together with other fixation devices/techniques for fixation regardless of a position of a fracture (i.e., mid, distal, proximal sections of a long bone). Similarly, the intramedullary nail 100 or intramedullary nail system 200 can be used in relation to any type of fracture on any type of long bone, such as a femur, humerus, and/or tibia and from either end (antegrade or retrograde). In addition, the intramedullary nail 100 or intramedullary nail system 200 may be used for deployment of an antegrade intramedullary nail or a retrograde intramedullary nail.
