The nail includes a body defining a longitudinal axis (14,114,214,314,414) and an external periphery of the body for fitting in the medullary canal of the long bone. The body has a first internal wall (18) of the body defining a first opening (20,26,42,62,64,68,64B,66B,68B,76B) through the body, the first opening defines a first opening centerline. The body has a second internal wall (24) of the body defining a second opening (20,26,42,62,64,68,64B,66B,68B,76B) through the body. The second opening defines a second opening centerline. The first opening centerline and the second opening centerline are oblique with respect to each other.
