    摘要: A tissue protection sleeve for use in trauma surgery is disclosed. In various embodiments, the tissue protection sleeve includes an inner sleeve with a first end portion, a second end portion, a longitudinal axis, and a bore extending there through, and an outer sleeve at least partially surrounding and coupled to the inner sleeve, wherein the tissue protection sleeve is capable of flexing or bending without collapsing the bore. In some embodiments, the inner sleeve may include a number of distinct geometries to provide sufficient structural rigidity, whilst still allowing the inner sleeve to bend. Additionally, a tissue protection sleeve handle may be coupled to the tissue protection sleeve to allow for manipulation of the tissue protection sleeve. In certain embodiments, pin guide holes or channels may be used to secure the tissue protection sleeve to a patient's bone.
