Orthopedic drill guide apparatus for use in drilling a bore in a fractured bone such as a trochanter for receipt of a pin. The apparatus includes a portable pistol device having aiming means mounted on the top thereof for alignment with an X-ray image-producing target placed over such fractured trochanter. Drill guide means is mounted on the pistol device below the aiming means and transverse indicator means is provided on such pistol device. Thus, the target may be placed over the fractured trochanter, an X-ray taken thereof and such X-ray examined to determine the point on such target which aligns with the desired orientation for the bore to be drilled. The aiming means is then aimed at the selected point on the target and the pistol device maneuvered to align the drill means below the aiming means as indicated by the indicator means so the drill may be inserted in such guide means for drilling the bore in the trochanter at the desired location.
