Accurate insertion of a guide pin for acute correction of bone deformity using a locked intramedullary nail.

Acute correction of bone deformity with the help of osteotomies and stabilisation with intramedullary nails (IMNs) is a recognised technique. 1 Often, for accurate correction, an external fixator is used to align bone segments, which are then stabilised with a locked IMN nail. 2 This strategy can be time-consuming and expensive. Here, we describe an innovative technique that aids accurate intraoperative insertion of the guide pin in a direction that leads to correct alignment of the long bone after osteotomy and IMN insertion.
