A method and associated apparatus for percutaneous internal fixing of a fractured limb bone comprising, placing the limb in a stabilizing clamp that is transparent to x-ray radiation, demonstrating the fractured bone to be fixed, resolving the course through the fractured bone of an intended fixation device, inserting a guide wire along the resolved course and across the fracture faces of the bone through an alignment conduit in the stabilizing clamp, drilling a pilot hole in the bone through the fracture faces by directing a cannulated drill over the guide wire, and introducing a cannulated fastening screw within the drilled pilot hole and across the bone fracture site to achieve apposition of the fracture fragments of the bone. |
