The phrase "alignment rod" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to construction, surveying, or any field where precise alignment is necessary.
Example: "The surveyor used an alignment rod to ensure that the foundation was perfectly straight."
Alternatives: "leveling rod" or "guiding rod".
Fixator is locked, and limb alignment is checked, e.g., using alignment rod.
An image intensifier and an alignment rod are used to control coronal and sagittal alignment during axial loading of the joint [28] (Fig. 10).
Limb alignment is evaluated fluoroscopically using a long rigid alignment rod between the centre of the femoral head and the centre of the ankle.
As golf skyrocketed in popularity between 1890 and 1930, patents emerged for everything from adjustable-weight woods to spring-face drivers to a putter with a telescoping alignment rod.
An alignment rod was used during reaming and cup insertion to allow for consistent cup orientation.
During TKA we used overdrilling of the femoral entry hole and irrigation of the femoral canal before insertion of the fluted intramedullary alignment rod.
Complications associated with conventional techniques that use intramedullary alignment rods include extra blood loss perioperatively (Raut et al. 1993), embolization of medullary content (Caillouette and Anzel 1990, Fahmy et al. 1990), and difficulty in intramedullary rod passage due to deformity, retained hardware, or pathological bone disease (Dennis et al. 1993).
In addition, at the knees suction-drainage of the femoral canal before fluted alignment-rod insertion to decrease emboli, as well as lateral ligament repair on both ankles and a peroneus longus to brevis tendon transfer at the right ankle have been done for lateral ankle instability and right-sided peroneal dysbalance.
Conformations of the flexible blocks extend to accommodate the partial rod alignment.
After the alignment, the horizontal rod of the tool will always keep normal to the door plane when the body translates, which guarantees the tool not to collide with the door plane during the process of locating the handle.
The randomly oriented crossed fringe patterns with d = 0.320 nm on the edge of the nanorod can be assigned to the (112) planes of the tetragonal CuInS2; they did not have preferential alignment along the rod axis, and the diameter of the single-crystalline QDs was about 5 to 10 nm.
