Abstract: A targeting apparatus for locking nails, has a connecting portion which is adapted to be fixedly connected to the end of a locking nail. The targeting apparatus has an arm which is connected to the nail connecting portion via a U or L-shaped portion. The arm has a plurality of bores to receive a drill guide sleeve wherein the bores are disposed at different angles. The targeting arm has supported thereon a rotatable sleeve but substantially is axially displaceable and has a series of cross-bores or apertures which are circumferentially and axially spaced wherein in the predetermined rotational positions of the rotatable sleeve, at least one aperture is aligned with a bore in the targeting arm. A detent is provided which locks the rotatable sleeve on the targeting arm in the selected individual rotational positions.
