Reticulated orthopaedic element to exploit the medullary canal of the long bones

Claim 1

Element for osteosynthesis comprising a central part and two end parts, the two end parts include a proximal end and a distal end part, such that said two end parts are comprised of a reticulate of titanium or other biocompatible material which is used to exploit the medullary canal of the bones, said proximal end is provided with coupling means, for temporary coupling to an introduction instrument, and wherein the meshes of the reticulate allow the screwing of at least a transverse screw, wherein said reticulate parts are covered with a sheath of biocompatible plastics, selected from the group consisting essentially of polytetrafluoroethylene or polyethylene, or a biocompatible metal, or thin titanium lamina, such that the sheet prevents a bond between the bone tissue and screw and such that said element may be introduced into a patient without the use of an image intensifier.
