ABSTRACT:
An instrumentation guide for orthopedic surgery having guide body includes at least one alignment guide. An attachment member is securable to the guide body and provides for the attachment of an orthopedic device such as an intramedullary nail. A transfer member which can be both engaged and disengaged with the instrumentation guide while a nail is secured to the attachment member is used to transmit insertion and removal forces to the nail through the attachment member. The transfer member may be formed out of a metal material and be removed from the guide body, which may be substantially radio transparent, while the nail is still attached to the guide body to facilitate the acquisition of radiographic images. The transfer member include an inner shaft and an outer sleeve which are relatively rotatable. The transfer member may also include a quick connect mechanism.
