TELESCOPIC NAIL AND ASSOCIATED PERFORATING TOOL

Abstract: a method for implanting a telescopic nail may include providing a telescopic nail comprising a hollow stem, a rod inserted telescopically into the hollow stem, a first fastening element configured to couple to an end of the hollow stem for fixing to a first long bone end, and a second fastening element configured to couple to an end of the rod for fixing to a second long bone end. the end of the hollow stem couples to a coupling end of a perforating tool. the method further includes the steps of inserting the perforating tool opposite to the coupling end inside the cavity, coupling the end of the hollow stem of the telescopic nail together with a counter-coupler of the coupling end of the perforating tool, and advancing the perforating tool inside the cavity until it comes out completely from the other long bone end.
