Endosteal nail
US 7780664 B2
Turning now to FIG. 9 a third embodiment of the nail 210 is shown. The nail 210, generally as described above, includes a plurality of screw holes 212 each of which includes a non-circular recess 222 aligned thereover. Also shown is jig 230 which includes first portion 232 which engages within a recess 222, and second portion 236 which extends parallel to the nail 210. Second portion 236 includes a first and second parts 290, 292 which extend over which the screw holes on each side of the longitudinal center 219 of the nail when the jig is attached to a center screw hole 212 a. However, the second part 292 is longer than the first part and includes at least one additional opening 238 a, for a guide, which extends beyond the screw holes over the respective side when the jig is attached at the center screw hole 212 a.
In use, the nail 210 is introduced into the on one side of the fracture, and then repositioned so that the longitudinal center 219 of the nail 210 is at or adjacent the fracture site. The first portion 232 of the jig 230 is placed through the fracture and coupled to preferably the center screw hole 212 a of the nail via a thumb screw 234 so that it is locked and will not rotate relative to the nail, thus maintaining openings 238 in alignment over the screw holes 212 of the first part 290 of the jig 230. Then holes are drilled through openings 238 in the first part 292 in alignment with corresponding screw holes 212 on a first side of the fracture. All but one of the drilled holes under the first part 290 is preferably provided with a screw 220. Referring to FIG. 10, the jig 230 is then disengaged from the center screw hole 212 a and attached again to the nail 210 through the drilled hole which does not yet include a screw. The fracture 246 is then reduced and compression is applied. While maintaining compression and using openings 238 on the second part 294 of the jig 230, holes are drilled through bone 218 in alignment with the screw holes on the second side of the fracture. Screws are then placed into the drilled holes and maintain the fracture in a reduced and compressed arrangement. The jig 230 is then removed and a final screw is placed in the hole where the jig was previously attached.
