Compression locking mode (optional)
for situations where the fracture gap needs compression
after nail insertion, this can be accomplished without
removing the insertion instruments.
the tibial nail–ex allows a maximum compression of
7 mm. If more compression of the fracture gap is needed,
the conventional backslap technique is recommended
(see page 26).
Note:
Distal locking is required prior to compression
locking, refer to page 21.
Insert one proximal locking screw in the dynamic locking hole
(dynam). refer to section diaphyseal and distal Segment
fractures on pages 27 to 30, for details on inserting this
locking screw.
