[0008] After adopting the above technical solution, an intramedullary nail that is easy to grip provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] Through the design of the nut with a conical structure, the utility model can ensure that when the second external thread is provided on the nut, there is no need to increase the diameter and height of the nut, that is, the exposed volume of the nut outside the bone is not increased; through the design that the spiral directions of the first external thread on the screw and the second external thread on the nut are opposite, it can be ensured that after the nail removal wrench is threadedly connected with the nut and self-locked, the screw can be screwed out by continuing to rotate, that is, while exerting the transfer of the screwing force, the screw can be held, ensuring that the screw will not fall off, making the surgical process more simple and fast. Description of the Drawings

[0010] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an intramedullary nail that is easy to grip according to the utility model.

[0011] Wherein: screw 1, nut 2, first external thread 3, second external thread 4. Detailed implementation mode

[0012] The present utility model will be further clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the detailed implementation mode. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way restricts the present utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0013] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing the detailed implementation mode and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or their combinations.

[0014] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model. At the same time, it should be understood that, for the sake of convenience of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in actual proportional relationship. Technologies, methods and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the said technologies, methods and devices should be regarded as part of the authorization specification. In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation.
