Abstract
An intramedullary osteosynthetic device includes an intramedullary nail, a hip helical implant, a sliding sleeve, a lateral set screw, and a distal locking screw. The intramedullary nail includes an oblique slotted bore that receives the sliding sleeve and in communication with a cannulation that is partially threaded to receive a coaxial set screw and a threaded notch compatible with the lateral set screw. The hip helical implant includes a frontal helical portion, at least two helical twisted blades attached to the frontal helical portion, and a rear smooth shaft having an external flat surface. The sliding sleeve includes a tube having an internal flat corresponding to the external flat and has external threads at the rear of the sleeve engaging the lateral set screw. The coaxial set screw fixes the sliding sleeve to the intramedullary nail by tightening the sliding sleeve inside the oblique bore.
