After having identified the insertion point, a Kirschner Wire can
be placed through the Guide Handle (only on the uninjured
side). Gently hammer the Kirschner Wire into the bone with the
Socket Wrench with Hammer. This Kirschner Wire will ensure an
exact placement of the cannulated nail and prevents the nail
from slipping.
Note:
Malpositioned Kirschner wires can be removed with the
optional pliers or the wire cutter.
