ABSTRACT:
A tool for assisting the surgeon in the setting of a surgical nail within the head and neck of a femur, the tool including a clamp structure temporarily affixed to the femoral shaft to support an adjustable arm in parallel, offset relationship to the femur. A guide assembly is positionable along said arm to locate first and second guide assembly members adjacent the femur end said members being pivotally mounted to enable their positioning and locking within multiple planes for proper guidance of a guide pin, drill and nail assembly. Interchangeable guide members provide precise, sequential guidance of the above bone penetrating instrumentalities. Calibrations on the tool enable calculated corrections to be set into the tool components and preclude the taking of X-rays simply for verifying the projected path of the guide pin.
