Abstract
An orthopedic instrument assembly for placing an implant into a bone has a targeting guide having an adjustable targeting arm, and a targeting aperture, where the targeting aperture defines a targeting axis through the targeting aperture. The orthopedic instrument assembly has a post having a longitudinal axis and the post connectable to the targeting guide. The post has a post aperture a post aperture center. The post aperture is aligned at a predefined angle relative to the longitudinal axis, where the post aperture defines a post aperture axis through the post aperture, the post aperture axis intersecting the longitudinal axis at the post aperture center. The adjustable targeting arm is for aligning the targeting axis with the post aperture center and thereby aligning the targeting aperture with the post aperture.
