1. A reusable surgical guide for osteosynthesis surgery, the reusable surgical guide forming an aimer for guiding and inserting axial wires into bone portions, the reusable surgical guide comprising:
a grip comprising:
a base, and
a head that is attached to an end of the base and extends along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end, the head including a first slide extending in a direction from the proximal end to the distal end of the head;
a slidable member adapted to slide in the first slide along the direction from the proximal end to the distal end of the head of the grip, wherein the slidable member comprises a distal end that includes a through hole for insertion of a wire, and an axis of the through hole in the distal end of the slidable member is transverse to the longitudinal axis;
a blade secured to the distal end of the head of the grip and extending in continuation of the head along a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the head, the blade being secured adjacent to the slidable member; and
an aiming piece adapted to be displaced in a second slide formed in the base of the grip, said aiming piece comprising at a distal end thereof at least one sleeve for supporting at least one wire.
