Abstract
A custom-made instrument set of Steel Sleeves was developed to assist the insertion of reamers and intramedullary devices for fixation of long bone fractures or lengthening procedures with intramedullary nails. By use of the Steel Sleeves, migration of the entry point is prevented and protection of the bone and soft tissue at the entry point is guaranteed. In addition, the principle of a closed working channel for trans-articular approaches can be provided. In this article, a description of properties and clinical application of custom-made steel sleeve instrument set is provided.Entities:
