Abstract

See full text

A measuring device for measuring the length of a through-hole in a bone has an elongated hollow sleeve preferably having an outer cross-section adapted to a cross-section of the through-hole and having an opening at its distal extremity. The measuring device further comprises a rod having a hook-shaped end at its distal extremity. The rod is at least partly housed within the hollow sleeve and is slidable with respect to the sleeve along its longitudinal axis. The sleeve and the rod are designed such that, when the rod is slid to a distal position of the sleeve, the hook-end can be displaced such as to protrude through the opening of the sleeve and laterally over the lateral outer surface of the sleeve. When the rod is slid to a proximal position of the sleeve, the rod no longer protrudes laterally over the outer surface of the sleeve.
