A marrow nail for the distal region of a radius bone. The marrow nail has a radius of curvature R between 100 and 1000 mm in order that it can be introduced adjacently to the distal articular surfaces of the radius bone, and an inclined transverse bore which crosses the marrow nail at a distance of less than 30 mm ahead of its end in order also to grasp bone fragments of fractures which extend transversely through the distal bearing surface. The end of the marrow nail is formed as a securing head for an aiming device for transverse bores.
