An apparatus for detecting a lateral locking hole of an intramedurally nail includes a targeting device. The targeting device has a support lever having a slider attached thereto. An ultrasonic probe is mounted at an lower end of the support lever. An ultrasonic wave is transmitted and received by a transceiver of the ultrasonic probe while moving the slider in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the intramedullary nail by a screw. The lateral locking hole of the intramedullary nail is detected of position by a height of echo of the ultrasonic wave.

Appareil pour détecter la position de l'orifice de blocage latéral d'un clou intramédullaire. Ledit appareil comprend un dispositif de ciblage, un bloc à coulisse fixé au levier de support du dispositif, et une sonde à ultrason fixée à l'extrémité inférieure du levier. Le procédé de détection consiste à envoyer et à recevoir des ondes ultrasonores au moyen d'un émetteur et d'un récepteur combinés de la sonde à ultrason et à déplacer simultanément le bloc à coulisse avec une vis dans un sens perpendiculaire à l'axe du clou, ce qui permet de détecter la position de l'orifice en fonction de la hauteur de l'écho ultrasonore.
