ABSTRACT:
An improved device for inserting rigid shafts into opposed segments of a fractured bone including a axially movable shaft having an arm extending outwardly therefrom which is adapted to engage a fractured bone at a first surface location. A tubular guide through which the rigid shaft is inserted is provided which is operatively aligned with the bone engagement arm and includes jaws opposing the bone engagement arm for engaging the fractured bone at a second surface location. The tubular guide is secured to one end of an elongate guide support and the axially movable shaft is adjustably positioned parallel thereto in an aperture extending through the elongate guide support. A securement mechanism is operatively associated with the guide support for securing the axially movable shaft at a desired distance from the jaws of the tubular guide to fixedly engage the fractured bone therebetween.
