MultiLoc Proximal Humeral Nail Technique Guide

Determine end cap length
The use of an end cap is recommended, to prevent bony
ingrowth into the proximal end of the nail, or to increase
stability if the nail has been overinserted.
Instruments
03.019.023 End Cap Ruler for MultiLoc Humeral Nailing
System
321.16 Combination Wrench, 11.0 mm width across
flats
Slide the end cap ruler over the proximal groove of the inser-
tion handle. Push the ruler down to the bone and read the
end cap length directly off the ruler.
Remove the end cap ruler, the connecting screw and the
insertion handle. If removal of the connecting screw is difficult,
use the combination wrench.
Note:
The proximal nail end and end cap should be 2 to 3 mm
below the cartilage, to minimize the risk of impingement
while providing maximum stability.
