Abstract
A guide device is provided for fixation of a fractured phalange. The guide device includes a proximal part, which is shaped so as to define therethrough an aperture, and which includes a first cushion within the aperture, which is configured to hold the fractured phalange in place. A distal part is shaped so as to define an opening at a proximal end of the distal part and a tubular section. The distal part includes a second cushion within the tubular section, configured to hold a portion of the fractured phalange in place. A pin guide is connected to and extends distally from the distal part, and is shaped so as to define an elongate guide passage therethrough that is configured to align the k-wire with the portion of the fractured phalange during insertion of a k-wire into the portion of the fractured phalange. Other embodiments are also described.
