Abstract
A depth gage for use with a drill in orthopaedics is provided. The depth gage includes a body. The body has first and second ends opposed to each other and an inner periphery defining a longitudinal aperture through the body for slidably receiving the drill. The longitudinal aperture defines a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal aperture. The body is adapted to permit the drill to be positioned in the longitudinal aperture in a direction non-coincident with the longitudinal axis.
