MultiLoc Proximal Humeral Nail Technique Guide
1
Drill and determine screw length
Instrument
03.019.016 3.8 mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit, quick coupling,
calibrated, 270 mm
Insert the calibrated drill bit and drill carefully until the level
of the subchondral bone is reached. Confirm drill bit position
with the image intensifier.
Read the required length of the screw directly off the cali-
brated drill bit at the back of the drill sleeve. Press the drill
sleeve firmly to the cortex to ensure accurate measurement.
Remove the drill bit and drill sleeve.
Caution:
Do not penetrate the articular surface.
Proximal Locking
MultiLoc Screws
Alternative technique: Measure using depth probe
Instrument
03.019.029 Depth Probe for MultiLoc Humeral Nailing
System
Alternatively, the depth probe can be used for screw length
determination.
Assemble the depth probe with its outer sleeve.
Insert the depth probe through the protection sleeve and
advance it until resistance of the subchondral space is felt.
Monitor under imaging. Press the outer part of the depth
probe firmly to the cortex to ensure accurate measurement.
Read the screw length directly from the depth probe at the
back of the outer sleeve.
Note:
The orange marking on the depth probe will align
with the outer opening of the protection sleeve.
