Abstract

A medullary rod has a peripheral wall defining the outer shape of the medullary rod, and inwardly delimiting a hollow space. The medullary rod also has a plurality of first partitions. The first partitions are generally parallel to one another, extend between the inner side of the medullary rod located along the inner edge of the long bone after implantation, and the outer side of the medullary rod located along the outer edge of the long bone after implantation. Each of the first partitions is integral with the peripheral wall at these inner and outer sides of the medullary rod.
