CURVED INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL

In a curved intramedullary nail for connecting two parts of a bone, with a tube for fastening to the first bone part, with a rod arranged inside the tube, which rod has a fastening portion protruding from the tube for the purpose of fastening to the second bone part, and with an adjustment mechanism arranged inside the tube, which adjustment mechanism can be actuated by repeated relative rotation movements between the rod and the tube, wherein the rod can be driven out of the tube or driven into the tube by actuation of the adjustment mechanism, a decoupling between the rod and at least one component of the adjustment mechanism is provided, which prevents the transmission of curvature-induced bending moments to the component.
