Abstract

Apparatus (10), and a method for producing such apparatus, for use in the repair of bones using an intramedullary nail insertable into a patient's bone, the intramedullary nail having a hollow body portion and a distal transverse hole, the apparatus comprising a tube (14) for insertion into the nail, the tube having an opening (20) through which light from a light source emitting electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation in the infrared or visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum is emitted, an optical conduit such as a bundle of optical fibers in the tube for conducting light from a light source to the opening; an optical element (22), which can be cast in place, providing a light transparent reflective surface disposed in the tube, the reflector being sized, shaped and positioned to receive light from the optical fibers and to internally reflect the light so that the light exits the tube through the opening.
