Abstract:
A custom-made instrument set of Steel Sleeves was developed to assist the insertion of reamers and intramedullary devices for fixation of long bone fractures or lengthening procedures with intramedullary nails. By use of the Steel Sleeves, migration of the entry point is prevented and protection of the bone and soft tissue at the entry point is guaranteed. In addition, the principle of a closed working channel for trans-articular approaches can be provided. In this article, a description of properties and clinical application of custom-made steel sleeve instrument set is provided.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
