Abstract
An intramedullary nail includes an elongated body extending along a central longitudinal axis. The intramedullary nail includes a straight proximal end portion along with a straight distal end portion extending proximally from a distal end of the nail by a predetermined length and a central portion extending proximally from a proximal end of the distal end portion to a distal end of the proximal end portion. The central portion includes a first curved portion having a first length with a first radius of curvature and a second curved portion having a second length shorter than the first length and a second, non-zero radius of curvature smaller than the first radius of curvature.
