The intramedullary nail (1) has a proximal half (2), a distal half (3) suitable for being inserted into the medullary canal, and a central axis (4), said distal half (3) being provided with three transverse bores (5, 6, 7) suitable for receiving locking screws (10). The distal half (3) is provided along the central axis (4) with a proximal transverse bore (5) having a bore axis (15), a central transverse bore (6) having a bore axis (16), and a distal transverse bore (7) having a bore axis (17). The bore axis (16) of the central transverse bore (6), which extends between the proximal transverse bore (5) and the distal transverse bore (7), is spaced at a shortest distance "a" from the bore axis (15) of the proximal transverse bore (5), and at a shortest distance "b" from the bore axis (17) of the distal transverse bore (7). In addition, the condition a ^b is applicable.
