摘要

A locking device includes a locking sleeve and a handle. The locking sleeve defines a pin channel and a plurality of resilient locking catches. The distal end of the sleeve includes a tip having a cutting edge and a pin guide adapted to be located about a portion of the diameter of a fixation pin. The locking sleeve is used to stabilize the location and orientation of a fixation pin implanted in a bone.
