Abstract
An aiming arm (4) comprises a rigid distal member a distal portion (4') of which is configured to be releasably coupled to a proximal end (1'') of an implant (1) to be implanted in a medullary canal of a bone (2), so that, when coupled to the proximal end of an implant, an orientation of the proximal end of the implant relative to the distal portion of the aiming arm remains constant in combination with a rigid proximal member (4'') a distal portion of which is rotatably coupled to a proximal end of the distal member. The proximal member includes an aligning feature (8) defining an axis. (10) aligned with an axis of a fixation element receiving hole (9) extending through a distal portion of the implant, the proximal member being rotatable after implantation of the implant, to an adjusted configuration in which the aligning feature is aligned with a post-implantation orientation of the fixation element.
