2 Reduce fracture
To secure the reduction head, insert the SynReam Reaming
Rod
2.5 mm (352.032, length 950 mm or 352.033, length
1150 mm) in a retrograde direction up to the olive. The olive
must be located in the reduction head throughout reduction.
Insert the assembled reduction system with the SynReam
reaming rod into the medullary cavity and reduce the distal
fragments under image intensifier control.
Note:
Always reduce with the reaming rod, since secure fixa-
tion can only be ensured if the reduction system is used in
conjunction with the reaming rod. Using the reduction system
without the reaming rod entails the risk of losing the reduc-
tion head in the medullary canal.
3 Remove reduction instruments
After completing the reduction, remove the reduction instru-
ments with the exception of the reaming rod, which must re-
main in the medullary cavity.
