Expert Tibial Nail

Inserting the nail

Note:

Hyper flex the knee to aid nail insertion into the

medullary canal.

Insert the nail into the intramedullary canal. Use a twisting
motion to advance the nail.

Monitor the nail passage across the fracture, control in two
planes to avoid malalignment.

Insert the nail until it is at or below the tibial opening. Check
ﬁnal nail position in AP and lateral views.

Note:

For proximal locking mount the aiming arm only when

the nail has been completely inserted, otherwise the aiming
arm may loosen during nail insertion.
