A stereotaxic apparatus for a locking nail which has two oscillating
circuits which are disposed along the longitudinal direction of the
locking nail. The apparatus has a guide sleeve to place a drill and/or
bone screw which, when the stereotaxic apparatus is in an oriented
condition, points to a cross-bore in the locking nail. The guide sleeve
has three or more oscillating circuits arranged in a first plane that are
equidistant each from a first center located in the plane; three or more
oscillating circuits are arranged in a second plane extending in parallel
with said first plane that are equidistant each from a second center
located in said second plane. The first and second planes are arranged
towards each other such that a face normal to one of said planes extends
through the first and second centers. A pair of oscillating circuits are
arranged at a distance from a straight line extending through the centers
and the interconnecting straight line of which, in the aligned condition
with the locking nail, is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal
direction of the locking nail.
