Abstract

An implantable intramedullary fixation structure (10) adapted to be received in the intramedullary canal of a long bone is disclosed comprising, a plurality of elongated segments (12). Each segment has a first end and a complementarily- shaped second end (24) such that the first end (22) of a segment cooperatively engages the second end of an adjacent segment. The segments define a guide aperture so as to be receivable over a guide (32) for positioning in the intramedullary canal.
