Abstract:
An implant system for fixation of bone includes an intramedullary nail, an extramedullary plate, and a bone fastener. The intramedullary nail has a connecting opening defining a first axis and a transverse opening defining a second axis and is configured to receive the bone fastener. The bone fastener is configured to penetrate a first through opening of the extramedullary plate and the transverse opening of the intramedullary nail. The implant system comprises a connecting fastener to fasten the extramedullary plate to the intramedullary nail by insertion through the second through opening of the extramedullary plate and the connecting opening of the intramedullary nail. The first axis is oblique with respect to a longitudinal axis of the intramedullary nail and parallel to the second axis of the transverse opening. Thus, the extramedullary plate can move parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bone fastener towards the intramedullary nail.
