TARGETING GUIDE

Abstract: an assembly includes a first portion including an anchor pivotally attached to a first end of the first portion, the anchor to be inserted into an intramedullary canal of a first bone fragment; a second portion pivotally attached to a second end of the first portion and including a first skin-interfacing portion; a second skin-interfacing portion to interface with and secure the assembly to skin adjacent to the first bone fragment; and an actuation mechanism attached between the first portion and the second portion that actuates pivoting of the second portion to the first portion; wherein a lateral force is generated between the first skin-interfacing portion against a second bone fragment, adjacent to the first bone fragment, and a holding force is provided by the anchor when the actuation mechanism is actuated, so the first portion pivots with respect to second portion, while the anchor is in the intramedullary canal.
