摘要：
A femoral instrument (30) for use in the intramedullary canal is described andincludes an intramedullary (32) rod having a tip (40) at a free end. A body (34)is attached to the intramedullary rod and has a face (48) with a bone abutting portion.A centraliser mechanism is located within the rod and is operable to deploy andretract a plurality of members (102, 104, 105) to engage and disengage an innersurface of the intramedullary canal. The length of the intramedullary rod fromthe tip to the face of the body is less than 30cm. The instrument can also includean angular adjustment mechanism (36). The angular adjustment mechanism canhave a plurality of formations (60, 62) and can be rotated about the longitudinalaxis of the intramedullary rod to present at least a one of the formations to abuta portion of the body to define the relative angle between the body and the intramedullaryrod.
