TARGETING APPARATUS FOR USE IN A MEDICAL PROCEDURE

摘要

A universal targeting apparatus (30,100) includes a generally U-shaped body (32, 102) having one end (36,104) configured to be coupled to the proximal end (18) of the intramedullary implant (10) and a mounting portion (46,112) at an opposite end of said body. An arm (34,125) is rotatably mounted to the mounting portion of the U-shaped body and includes bores (67,73,131,136) defined at its opposite ends. Each bore is arranged at a different angle to correspond to the angle (A) of a transverse aperture (14,15) in the intramedullary implant. The arm can be rotated so an appropriate one of the angled bores is aligned with the transverse aperture to serve as a guide for creating targeting holes in the bone.
