Abstract

This device includes an elongated support (1) including an ultrasound transceiver, a unit for processing the ultrasounds reflected by the bony wall, and a display unit enabling to visualise the position of the elongated support (1) inside the bone during boring. According to the invention, the elongated support (1) includes, at its distal end, at least a series (6) of aligned ultrasound transceivers, transmitting according to directions substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated support (1).
