Universal Chuck with T-Handle
Secure the guide wire in the universal chuck. Slightly punch
mark the insertion point at a 10° angle to the shaft axis in
the lateral view. Hold a sterile Expert Tibial Nail on the side of
the lower leg with its distal end parallel to the tibia shaft.
The curved proximal nail end determines the definitive angle
of insertion for the guide wire.
Insert the guide wire for approx. 8 –10 cm and check the po-
sition under the image intensification in the AP and lateral
views.
