<p>Apparatus, including a surgical kit, for use with a surgical drill, in the repair of bones using an intramedullary nail (30) insertable into a patient's bone (20), comprising a rod like device (70, 72) for insertion into the intramedullary nail (30), the device having a light source (73, 74, 75, 86, 88) emitting electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation, and the device being positionable so that the light source (74) emits the radiation through a distal transverse hole of the intramedullary nail; and a surgical instrument (95, 99, 102, 104) for exposing an exterior surface of a portion of the bone (20) illuminated by the radiation for view by the surgeon or a surgical robot. The radiation can be detected on the exterior surface of the bone (20) toalign the surgical drill (110) to the radiation passing through a transverse hole (42, 44) of the intramedullary nail (30), permitting accurate drilling of a hole through the bone and passage of the drill through the transverse hole (42, 44) of the intramedullary nail (30).</p> |
