Abstract
A canal diameter reducer is placed within the intramedullary canal alongside an intramedullary rod to stabilize the intramedullary rod and prevent toggling and/or misalignment due to shear. The canal reducer is an elongated block which may be guided into position by a guide wire and may be held in position during insertion of the rod by a suture extending through hole 31. The reducer is inserted through an entry opening formed in the end of the fractured bone. The canal reducer may be fabricated from allograft bone or xenograft bone.
