Abstract
The expandible-extendible intramedullary nail includes a base section. An assembly component is connected to the base section. The assembly component has an inner assembly surface and helical assembly threads formed on the inner assembly surface. A distal rod is connected to the assembly component. A driving nut is connected to the distal rod and assembly component. The driving nut has an outer nut surface and helical nut threads formed on the outer nut surface. The driving nut is rotatable about the longitudinal central axis of the helical nut threads such that the rotation causes helical displacement of the helical nut threads relative to the helical assembly threads. This causes longitudinal displacement of the distal rod relative to the assembly component.
