Note:
The T2 Recon Nail may be inser-
ted without reaming of the
subtrochanteric and diaphyseal
region of the femur, particularly
in eldery patients with wide
medullary canals. If appropriate,
after the trochanteric region has
been prepared with the One Step
Conical Reamer, the nail can be
inserted without further reaming
of the medullary canal.
Operative Technique
The Guide Wire Pusher can be used to
keep the Guide Wire in position
during reamer shaft extraction. The
metal cavity at the end of the blue
Elastosil handle may be placed on the
end of Guide Wire. Applying pressure
to hold the Guide Wire in place while
removing the drill under power.
(Fig. 14).
When close to the Guide Wire end,
place the Guide Wire Pusher with its
funnel tip at the end of the power tool
cannulation (Fig. 15).
While removing the power tool the
Guide Wire Pusher will keep the
Guide Wire in place.

Reaming of the trochanteric region is
needed (Fig. 13) as the proximal nail
diameter (driving end) is larger than the
nail diameter (13mm for the 9 and
11mm diameter nails and 15mm for
the 13 and 15mm diameter nails).
For both reamed or unreamed
applications, the proximal 5cm of the
trochanteric region must be opened to at
least 13mm or 15mm, depending on the
proximal diameter of the nail.
