Place the cannulated Drill Bit
13.0 mm (351.270) into a
cannulated power drill. Guide the drill bit through the
protection sleeve and over the guide wire to the bone. Drill
to a depth of approximately 30 mm. Remove the protection
sleeve, the drill sleeve and the guide wire. Do not re-use the
guide wire.

the knee joint.
Alternative
The medullary canal can also be opened with the Large

Reaming of the femur may be indicated depending on the
fracture type or if the medullary canal is too narrow. If
reaming is not indicated proceed with step 9.
