Compression locking mode (optional)
For situations where the fracture gap needs compression af-
ter nail insertion, diastasis, compression of the fracture gap
can be accomplished without removing the insertion instru-
ments.
The Expert Tibial Nail allows for a maximum compression of
7 mm. If more compression of the fracture gap is needed,
the conventional backstroke technique is recommended.
Note:
Distal locking is required prior to compression locking,
refer to steps 1 to 6 on pages 28 to 34.
Insert one proximal locking screw in the dynamic locking
hole (DYNAM), refer to steps 1 to 5 on pages 35 to 40 for
details on inserting this locking screw.
