Abstract: A device for identifying the position of the distal holes for passage of securement screws provided in an intramedullary nail inserted in a medullary canal of a long bone, having an arm that protrudes from said medullary canal, provided with a fixing element for rotational and axial fixing to the end of said nail, the arm comprising a portion that protrudes outside the bone provided with elements for the coupling, at a selective distance, of a hollow stem which encloses a plurality of channels allowing sliding therein of guiding wires for guiding a cannulated bone drilling tool and at least one securement screw to be inserted after removal of the cannulated tool through the bone and distal holes of the intramedullary nail.
