Figures 1G and 1H are a distal end view and a proximal end view respectively of the intramedullary nail of FIG. 1A, according to one embodiment. Figure 1G illustrates the coupling 110 and a hollow passage 134 that may extend from the distal end 104 to the proximal end 106.	58	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	The coupling 110 of the distal end 104 serves to connect the intramedullary nail 100 with a driver (See FIG. 3A) for deployment of the intramedullary nail 100. The coupling 110 may use a variety of features and/or interfaces for making a coupling/connection between the coupling 110 and the driver. In the illustrated embodiment, the coupling 110 includes an arrangement of grooves 234 (See FIG. 2C) that accept ridges or “tongues” that may extend from a corresponding driver of an inserter. The grooves 234 engage the tongues to permit the driver to force, or move, the intramedullary nail 100 longitudinally when deploying the intramedullary nail 100. The grooves 234 permit some torque forces to be applied to the coupling 110 to facilitate deployment of the intramedullary nail 100. In certain embodiments, the grooves 234 may engage with the tongues in a friction fit such that the intramedullary nail 100 can be retracted as needed during a deployment procedure. In certain embodiments, the coupling 110 may engage with a driver such that retraction of the driver also retracts the coupling 110 and structures connected to the coupling 110.	59	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	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.	61	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	Figure 2A is a perspective view of an intramedullary nail system 200 that includes an intramedullary nail 202 connected to an adapter 204 within a long bone, such as a femur 102, according to one embodiment.	62	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	Figure 2B is a perspective view of the intramedullary nail 202 and adapter 204 of FIG. 2A, according to one embodiment. The intramedullary nail 202 may include a proximal end 206, a distal end 208, and a shaft 210 between them. The shaft 210 may include a longitudinal axis 212. The intramedullary nail 202 may be a straight rigid intramedullary nail and/or may include a bow that follows a natural curve of the long bone of a patient. The intramedullary nail 202 may be similar to the intramedullary nail 100 described above, except that the distal end 208 does not include an offset section 116. The intramedullary nail 202 may include one or more openings 214 similar in placement, function, and operation to the one or more openings 132 described above in relation to the intramedullary nail 100.	63	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	The distal end 208 may include a first coupling 216. The first coupling 216 is configured and/or arranged to engage with the adapter 204. The first coupling 216 enables longitudinal forces and/or torsional forces placed on the adapter 204 to transfer to the distal end 208 for deployment of the intramedullary nail 202.	64	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	The adapter 204 includes a second coupling 218, a third coupling 220, and a body 222. The second coupling 218 is configured to engage the first coupling 216. The third coupling 220 is configured to engage a fourth coupling of an inserter (See FIG. 3A). The body 222 may include a first bend 224 at one end and a second bend 226 at an opposite end. The first bend 224 sits between the second coupling 218 and the body 222 and directs the body 222 posteriorly in relation to the second coupling 218 and the longitudinal axis 212 of the intramedullary nail 202. The second bend 226 sits between the body 222 and the third coupling 220 and directs the body 222 posteriorly in relation to the third coupling 220 and the longitudinal axis 212 of the intramedullary nail 202. In certain embodiments, the second bend 226 directs the third coupling 220 such that the third coupling 220 extends from the body 222 parallel to the longitudinal axis 212. In one embodiment, the first bend 224 is angled posteriorly from the longitudinal axis 212 and the second bend 226 is angled anteriorly from the longitudinal axis 212 such that the third coupling 220 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis 212.	65	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	NXT-5PROV NXT-5, 6, 7, 8	Referring to FIG. 1B and FIG. 2B, in certain embodiments, the intramedullary nail 100 and/or intramedullary nail 202 may include a nail cap that connects to the coupling 110 and/or third coupling 220 once the intramedullary nail 100 and/or intramedullary nail 202 is deployed. The nail cap may facilitate closing the entry point used to deploy the intramedullary nail 100 and/or intramedullary nail 202. In certain embodiments, the adapter 204 may serve as a nail cap for the intramedullary nail 202.	66	Added by DJM 8 2021	8/16/21, 12:00 AM
