Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for handling of at least one implant for a body is provided. The apparatus has a radio translucent portion and a radio-opaque marking. The apparatus can optionally comprise a jig affixable to an intramedullary nail, which can be used to determine the position of holes to be drilled through a bone which align with holes in the nail. The radio-opaque marking will appear on an x-ray and can be used to indicate the relative alignment of the jig and the nail.
