In one embodiment, a system for locating a transverse hole disposed at a predetermined location in a surgical implant inserted into a fractured bone of a patient and for drilling the fractured bone coaxially with the transverse hole is provided. The system comprises a first electromagnetic sensor unit coupled to the surgical implant, a surgical instrument for drilling a hole through the fractured bone coaxially with the transverse hole, the surgical instrument having a main axis disposed in parallel to the axis of the transverse hole, an electromagnetic drive unit coupled to the surgical instrument for energizing the first electromagnetic sensor unit to transmit a signal, a second electromagnetic sensor unit configured for receiving the signal and a display unit for converting the signal into visual signals enabling a user to change the position of the surgical instrument to align the surgical instrument with the transverse hole of the surgical implant.
