Abstract
Targeting assemblies for implanting a compression nail are disclosed. An exemplary targeting assembly may include first and second arms coupled by a connecting shaft. The first and second arms may either or both be operable to rotate about a longitudinal axis defined by the connecting shaft. In some embodiments, the use of the disclosed targeting assembly allows for reduced misalignment of the alignment holes in the arms during the implant process.
