Disclosed is an intramedullary nail (1) comprising a longitudinal axis (2), a proximal end (3), a distal end (4), at least one bore (10, 11) that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (2), lies on a plane (20), and has a defined diameter (d10, d11) for accommodating a locking element (12, 13), an d a longitudinal slot (9) that runs parallel to the longitudinal axis (2) on said plane (20). The longitudinal slot (9) is provided with a width b which is measured perpendicular to the plane (20) in the area outside the bores (10, 11) in the non-expanded state of the intramedullary nail and corresponds to a maximum of .6 times the smallest defined diameter (d10) of the bores (10, 11 ).
