Date Jun. 25, 1981.A device for reducing or repositioning and fixing of pertrochanterous and subtrochanterous fractures, comprising at least one bone nail of resilient material, which nail is bent at least at its proximal end portion and which is insertable into the medullary canal of a bone through an impact hole formed in the bone and which is intended to contact, under tension, the apex of the bent portion the wall of the medullary canal, opposing the impact hole. The distal end of the bone nail is provided with a coupling member allowing a positive connection for rotation with an impact tool. An insert member is placed in the impact hole and includes a tubular guide channel through which the bone nails pass and a means to prevent shifting of the insert member in the impact hole.
