Reduction of femoral shaft fractures prior to passing the guide pin during intramedullary fixation may be a challenging problem, especially in delayed reductions or obese patients. We describe a simple and useful instrument for obtaining and maintaining reduction for closed intramedullary fixation. It provides a three-point fixation that may be locked into position to maintain the reduction. The surgeon is not required to hold the device in position while passing the guide pin, the reamer, or the nail. It frees the surgeon's hands, minimizes the need for an assistant, and reduces harmful x-ray exposure to the hands.
