<p>A targeting guide for locating a surgical target site, such as a hole in a distal end of an implanted intramedullary nail 10, and for providing sufficient structural integrity to guide a drill 30, trocar or other surgical instrument or tool to the target site comprises first and second indicators 21,22 having identifiable reference points at least partially radiopaque so that they are imageable and mounted on first and second handles radially spaced from one another with respect to said target site. Each indicator is independently moveable along the respective longitudinal axis of its handle and along at least one further axis and lockable in a selected position. In use, the reference point of each indicator is capable of being aligned with a reference point of the target site using imaging means, and the aligned indicators providing a secure guide to the target site for the surgical tool.</p> |
