abstract a system is provided for inserting and securing, through a suprapatellar region of a leg, a nail into a medullary channel of a bone. the system can include a flexible sleeve configured to be partially inserted in the leg. the flexible sleeve can defines a leading end and a trailing end spaced apart from the leading end along a first axis. the flexible sleeve can defines a first cannulation that extends along the first axis between the leading and trailing ends. the first cannulation can be sized to receive at least the intramedullary nail. the system can further include a retaining member configured support at least a portion of the flexible sleeve. the retaining member can be configured to position the flexible sleeve through the suprapatellar region of the leg such that the flexible sleeve leading is aligned with the proximal end of the bone. The intramedullary nail can be inserted through the flexible sleeve and into the medullary channel. Abstract of the Summary Patent Summary "Suprapatellar Insertion System, Kit and Method". The present invention relates to a system (1) for inserting and securing, through the suprapatellar region (sr) of a leg, a pin (300) into a medullary canal (c) of a bone. the system may include a flexible sleeve (40) configured to be partially inserted into the leg. The flexible sleeve may define a front end (44) and an end end (42) spaced from the front end along a first axis (p1). The flexible sleeve may define a first cannulation (45) extending along the first axis between the front and rear ends. the first cannulation may be sized to receive through it at least the intramedullary pin. the system may additionally include a retaining member (50) configured to support a portion of the flexible sleeve. The retention member may be configured to position the flexible glove through the suprapatellar region of the leg so that the anterior end of the flexible glove is aligned with the posterior end of the bone. The intramedullary pin c
