[0047] According to a first embodiment of the invention, the fixation system 1 comprises a humeral screw 10 and at least one proximal locking screw 3 .
[0048] The humeral screw 10 may even comprise a set of proximal transverse holes for corresponding locking screws 3 . For example, in this embodiment at least 3 transverse holes 5 , 6 , 7 are shown in the proximal portion of the humeral screw 10 as shown in FIG. 7 .
[0049] More specifically, because the humeral screw 10 is hollow, each transverse hole 5, 6, 7 comprises a pair of holes realized in opposite walls of the screw and which can be aligned axially. For disclosure purposes, we treat these opposing holes as a single transverse hole.
[0050] Each transverse hole may be oriented at a selected angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the staple; however, at least two of the holes 5, 6 in the set of proximal holes lie on the same plane, while the third hole lies on a radial plane middle.
[0051] Advantageously, th...
