Flexible implants for stable flexible osteosynthesis of femoral tibia fractures and working instrumentation

A set of flexible implants for repair of femur fractures includes a short implant which is of flattened S shape and is dimensioned to extend generally upwardly from a point below the upper condyle through the neck and into the head of the femur, an intermediate length pin which is bowed to be turned downwardly and to extend from a region below the short pin through the neck and into the head of the femur, and a long pin which is bowed and extends the length of the femur from the region of the lower condyle into the upper condyle or the head of the femur. Short and intermediate length pins have eyes adapted to lie against the shank of the femur and are held in place by bone nails or screws. The lower end of the long pin has an S bend connected to a spade formation conforming to the curvature of the region of the long pin.
