Abstract
A device for bone fixation includes an intramedullary pin and a bone plate. The intramedullary pin has a longitudinal axis with a distal tip configured for insertion into the medullary canal. The intramedullary pin also has at least one transverse borehole passing through it for accommodating a hip screw. The bone plate is disposed at the proximal rear end of the intramedullary pin and lies in contact with the greater trochanter.
