After identifying the insertion point, a Kirschner wire can
be placed through the K-wire insertion handle (only on the
uninjured side). Gently hammer the Kirschner wire into the
bone with the socket wrench with hammer. This Kirschner
wire will ensure exact placement of the cannulated nail and
prevent the nail from slipping.
Note:
Malpositioned Kirschner wires can be removed with
the pliers.
Precautions:
– Instruments and screws may have sharp edges or moving
joints that may pinch or tear user’s glove or skin.
– Handle devices with care and dispose of worn bone cutting
instruments in an approved sharps container.
– Select the appropriate Schanz screw for the patient’s
bony anatomy.
