Provided are distal aiming assemblies useful in aiming fixation members for insertion into an intramedullary device, such as a nail. The assemblies include a spring (104) that flexibly connects an elongate arm (106) to a base (100). The spring enables deflection of the elongate arm to compensate for curvature of the intramedullary device when inserted into a bone, in turn enabling the user to accurately install fixation members into the intramedullary device through the deflected elongate arm.
