Abstract
An osteosynthesis system for treating fractures of tubular bones includes an intramedullary nail with an elongated nail body consisting of a hard metal material with two end sections and a middle section that has at least one transverse screw hole close to the end for screwing in at least one bone screw into each end section. The nail body has a through-channel for pushing through a guide element, in the middle section on the side of the through-channel with the lowest wall thickness, at least two transverse one-sided screw holes for screwing in bone screws are placed proximate to a fracture, all one-sided screw holes are formed as inlays made out of soft metal material securely joined to the nail body, and bone screws with an initial thread consisting of hard metal material that can be screwed into the bone and screw holes while forming threads.
