    摘要: A support rod for a hollow, flexible torque transmitting shaft for treating a bone includes support and flex portions. When the rod is received at a desired position within the shaft, the support portion extends through a first non-bendable portion of the shaft. An outer diameter of the support portion substantially corresponds to an inner diameter of the shaft to support the first portion. When the support rod is received at the desired position, the flex portion extends through a second bendable portion of the shaft. The flex portion includes a holding portion having an outer diameter substantially corresponding to an inner diameter of the second portion and a gap portion having an outer diameter reduced relative to the outer diameter of the holding portion to form an annular gap between the gap portion and an inner surface of the holding portion.

    摘要: A system for treating a bone includes an insertion device for an intramedullary nail. A first end includes a channel extending therethrough so that, when the insertion device is coupled to an intramedullary nail, the channel of the device is aligned with and in communication with a channel of the nail. The system also includes a guide sleeve extending from a proximal end to a distal end and including a first bend extending along a portion of a length thereof so that a longitudinal axis of a distal portion of the sleeve is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of a remaining portion of the sleeve. In an operative position, the distal end of the sleeve is inserted into the channel of the device and the remaining portion of the sleeve extends toward a lateral side of a bone being treated.
