Determine entry point
The entry point defines the optimal position of the Expert
Tibial Nail in the intramedullary canal. This is more important
for proximal and distal third fractures to prevent fragment
displacement.
In AP view the entry point is in line with the axis of the intra-
medullary canal and with the lateral tubercle of the inter-
condylar eminence.
In lateral view the entry point is at the ventral edge of the
tibial plateau.
