Abstract

A bone implant (1) for stabilizing fractured or non-fractured bones comprises an implant body (2), preferably a cylindrical body, extending along a longitudinal axis (3) from a front side (4) to an end side (5). The implant has an implant width (6) extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (3), and a length of the implant body (2) along the longitudinal axis (3) is at least 5 times the width (6) of the implant. The implant body (2) has an outer surface, being at least divided into a first surface (7) and a second surface (8. The first surface (7) comprises an anchorage area (9) which extends at least partially over the outer surface, preferably maximum over half of the outer surface.
