Abstract

An intramedullary nail for use in osteosynthesis is provided with means for forming and then tightening a loop of wire extending from its distal end. In the method of its use, a locking bolt which prevents rotation and longitudinal movement of the nail is inserted through the loop more easily than through the bolt holes at the distal end of a conventional nail.
