Transverse Pins
(cont.)
The pin inserter handle has two components: the
impaction head (Figure 38A) and the adjustment knob
(Figure 38B).
Note:
Ensure the adjustment knob is loose by
turning in a counterclockwise motion; this will
ensure that the handle will accept the pin inserter.
Place the threaded end of the pin inserter into the
pin inserter handle and tighten with a clockwise turn
(Figure 39).
