Operative Technique
After removal of the Target Device,
a Set Screw or End Cap can be used.
Two different Set Srews are available
(Fig. 53a):
- a
Recon Set Screw
to tighten
down on the Proximal Lag Screw
for the Recon Mode
- an Antegrade Set Screw to
tighten down on the oblique Fully
Threaded Screw for the Femoral
Antegrade Mode
Note:
If a Set Screw is used, an End Cap
can no longer be inserted.
Four different sizes of End Caps are
available to adjust nail length and to
reduce the potential for bony ingrowth
into the proximal thread of the nail
(Fig. 53b).
The Set Screw or End Cap is inserted
with the Long Screwdriver Shaft and
Teardrop Handle after intra-operative
radio graphs confirm satisfactory
reduction and hardware implantation
(Fig. 54). Be sure to fully seat the End
Cap or Set Screw to minimize the
potential risk for loosening.
Nail Removal
The Set Screw or End Cap is removed
with the Long Screwdriver Shaft and
Tear drop Handle (Fig. 55).
The Universal Rod is inserted into
the driving end of the nail.
Alternatively, the Conical Extraction
Rod, can be attached to the Universal
Rod to facilitate extraction of the
nail. All 5mm Fully Threaded Lock-
ing Screws are removed with the
Screwdriver, Selfholding. The optional
Long Screw Capture Sleeve may be
used on the Screwdriver Shaft. For
removal of the Lag Screws, the Recon
Screwdriver or the Recon Screwdriver
Shaft and T-Handle are to be used.
The Slotted Hammer is used to ex tract
the nail in a controlled man ner (Fig. 56).
