INTRAMEDULLARY CANNULATED GUIDE FOR FRACTURE REDUCTION WITH ENDOSCOPIC CAMERA

The invention consists in a product for the closed reduction and, more specifically, in a new type of an intramedullary cannulated guide for fracture reduction with an endoscopic camera for use in intramedullary nailing surgeries. The intramedullary cannulated guide for fracture reduction is consisted of a flexible, unbreakable, modular and cannulated shaft, a T-handle with a hole in the upper surface, a camera, which is located at the edge of the guide, bears a lightning source and is connected wired or wireless to an image reproduction device, a sealing flange with a slot or spout, an input/output cannula for liquid suction and/or washing of the camera glass. The intramedullary cannulated guide for fracture reduction with an endoscopic camera is inserted in a bone that has suffered a fracture. The intramedullary image that the camera transmits, when it encounters the fracture point, is shown on the screen. Thus, the surgeon perceives the direction towards which the bone parts have to be pushed, in order to achieve their reduction with skeletal manipulations. After the intramedullary cannulated guide for fracture reduction is inserted, the camera is removed from the guide, by pulling out the cable of the camera, and, through the canal of the guide, the ball tip guide wire is inserted and the surgery continues as it is conducted up until today.
