An implant with bent tip in the shape of 'hockey stick' is TENS ( titanium elastic nailing system - see in image below the answer). These are also called flexible nails or ESIN ( elastic stable intramedullary nails).
Rush nails are also bend at one end and bevelled at other ,but it is not the end to be inserted, it is the end that remains outside bone.
