Guide assembly for intramedullary fixation and method of using the same

An intramedullary fixation device kit for repairing a radius fracture, the intramedullary fixation member kit comprising;

• an intramedullary fixation device configured to be positioned within an intramedullary canal of a radius and defining a plurality of fastener openings for receiving respective fasteners therethrough;
• a guide member configured to be coupled to the intramedullary fixation device, the guide member defining a first opening;
• a guide fastener configured to extend through the first opening defined in the guide member and into the intramedullary fixation device so as to secure the guide member to the intramedullary fixation device;
• an interchangeable distal guide member configured to engage and be disengaged from the guide member while the guide member is secured to the intramedullary fixation device by the guide fastener and defining a plurality of fastener guide openings for guiding respective fasteners through a plurality of fastener openings defined in the intramedullary fixation device, the distal guide member defining a second opening configured to align with the first opening defined in the guide member and to allow passage of the guide fastener therethrough, wherein the guide member further comprises a threaded opening for receiving a fastener to secure the distal guide member to the guide member;
• and
• an interchangeable proximal guide member configured to engage and be disengaged from the distal guide member and defining a plurality of fastener guide openings for guiding respective fasteners into a plurality of fastener openings defined in the intramedullary fixation device, located proximally of the plurality of fastener openings defined by the intramedullary fixation device with respect to the distal guide member.
