INTRAMEDULLARY PIN WITH SELF-LOCKING END FOR METADIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES OF LONG BONES

摘要

Intramedullary pin (1) with self-locking end for metadiaphyseal fractures, constituted by a proximal stub (2) provided with means (3) for fixing to the cortices; the ends of at least two curved and elastically deformable stems (8) are axially rigidly associated with the stub (2), and the stems (8) are adapted to expand elastically and to press with their tips (9) the walls of the bone from the inside of the medullary canal.
