After inserting the Kirschner Wire on the uninjured side, slide
the clamp with cannulated nails over the wire and ensure that
the tip of the nail grips the bone securely. Then place the second
nail on the injured side (no Kirschner wire is necessary on this
side).
Note:
In cases of severe dislocations of the pelvis, pulling on the
leg, internal rotation and even lateral compression may improve
reduction and facilitate application of the Pelvic C-Clamp.
