Richtstab

German to English Medical Medical: Instruments joint replacement surgery
This one is another instrument used in orthopedic surgery, and I can't seem to find anything anywhere, except for what it's called when it's a surveying tool (as in surveying land). Does anyone out there have a glossary or dictionary dealing with orthopedic surgery?

"Entsprechend der präoperativen Planung und den anatomischen Grössenverhältnissen wird die Aufdehnung des Intramedullärraumes mit der jeweils folgenden Grösse der Instrumente bis zur optimalen Passform der Verankerung fortgesetzt. Zur besseren Orientierung der Achsrichtung dient der abgewinkelte Richtstab, der auf den Lamellenschneider aufgesteckt wird. Der Schlitzhammer wird für den Ein- und für den Ausschlag der Lamellenschneider verwendet. Die Lage des Lamellenschneiders kann mit dem Bildverstärker kontrolliert werden."

'Guide rod' might also be possible, but I'm not sure.
