Guidewire centering instrument.

A new instrument for centering the guidewire into the neck of the femur has been designed and clinically tested for 2 years. It enables the surgeon to vary the position of the guidewire relative to the long axis of the neck of the femur and to achieve the desired position in two planes, anteroposterior and lateral. The objective is to reduce operating time and minimize irradiation to patients and staff when using metal implants to fix a fracture of the neck of the femur.
