    摘要: The present technology may comprise a fixation device. The fixation device can comprise an elongate body comprising a plurality of interconnected segments, each of the segments comprising an engagement member, a recess configured to receive the engagement member of an adjacent one of the segments, and a plurality of channels. At least one of the channels can extend through the engagement member. The fixation device can further comprise a plurality of flexible elongate members, each extending through one of the channels. The elongate body can be transformable between a flexible configuration in which the elongate members can move relative to one another and a rigid configuration in which the elongate members are fixed relative to one another.

    摘要: An IM tibial nail aiming guide for providing proximal and distal screw fixation in an intramedullary nailing (IMN) of a tibia includes an attachment that connects and disconnects easily from a jig's proximal handle. Specifically, the IM tibial nail aiming guide functions as an aiming guide for accurate fixation of all the respective proximal and distal screw holes in a tibial nail. The IM tibial nail aiming guide has a length and angle that are adjustable, affording the ability to use this IM tibial nail aiming guide with any tibial nail. This IM tibial nail aiming guide is made of radiolucent material that allows for a confirmatory fluoroscopic imaging to verify that both the proximal and distal screws are fixated appropriately. The IM tibial nail aiming guide permits a more accurate, safe, versatile, and efficient approach to tibial IMN.
