A simplified method for determining the position of and creating the proximal starting hole for a femoral intramedullary rod is presented. The method, which uses the combination reamer from the DHS hip screw set and other equipment found in most operating rooms, increases the certainty of correct placement of the proximal starting hole. The difficulties and risks inherent in the use of the starting awl are eliminated.
