摘要 |
The invention relates to a surgical nail (1), in particular in the form of an intramedullary nail, with a central axis (2) and consisting of a material (M) having a modulus of elasticity (E). Said nail comprises a plurality of transversal openings (5) which run transversally to the central axis (2) and have a cross-sectional profile (F) and a transversal axis (6), the cross-sectional profile (F) having a maximum length (a) that runs in the direction of the central axis and a maximum width (b) that runs perpendicular to the length. The nail (1) also comprises a longitudinal bore (3) running coaxially with the central axis (2) and a wall (4), wherein the nail (1) comprises a longitudinal insert (7) which can be introduced into the region of the transversal opening (5) via the longitudinal bore (3). Said insert has a longitudinal axis (13) and consists of a material (m). The insert (7) comprises at least one longitudinal slot (25) so that said insert can be elastically compressed in a radial manner. The insert (7) further comprises a plurality of radial elevations (14) fitting inside the transversal openings (5).
