Clinical Application
This guide pin is used to establish and maintain an intramedullary trajectory during long-bone fixation procedures. It provides a central reference for sequential reaming, canal preparation, and insertion of cannulated intramedullary nails in femoral, tibial, and humeral applications. The pin permits controlled passage of cannulated instruments and implants under fluoroscopic guidance and supports accurate alignment between proximal and distal fragments during fixation.
Design & Configuration
A straight, rigid shaft with a 4.0 mm diameter balances stiffness and ease of insertion for long-bone work. The 46 cm length is intended to span the working distance required for most femoral and tibial nailing procedures while allowing secure control from the proximal surgical field. Straight geometry maintains a consistent trajectory in the medullary canal and reduces the risk of unintended bending during reaming and nail passage.
