A drill guide is provided for assisting in the placement of an intramedullary nail including a distal nail portion and a proximal nail portion that can be connected to each other to attain a rigid configuration. The guide may also be used to measure a depth of a hole drilled to assist in the selection of a maximum desired length of the screws used to affix the nail portions to the bone. The distal nail portion can include a plurality of screw receiving holes, a single screw receiving hole, or no screw receiving holes, as desired.
