ABSTRACT:
Two semicylindrical bodies, each mounted on a respective end of one member of a pair of pivotally interconnected blades, are closed to form a cylindrical body having a first end in which a frustoconical surface is arranged to guide a wire into a central bore, and a second end communicating with bore and in which a semi-spherical cavity is shaped to receive a bone end. The wire insertion guide is particularly applicable to procedures such as resectional arthroplasties requiring K-wire fixation, Hoffman-Clayton type rheumatoid forefoot reconstructive procedures, and procedures relating to finger reconstruction.
