Nail Selection<br />
The X-Ray Template should be used<br />
pre-operatively to determine the canal<br />
size radiographically. This information<br />
may be utilized in conjunction with<br />
the clinical assessment of canal size<br />
as determined by the size of the last<br />
reamer used.<br />

Diameter<br />
The diameter of the selected nail<br />
should be 1mm−1.5mm smaller than<br />
the last reamer used.<br />
Length<br />
Nail length may be determined with<br />
the X-Ray Ruler (Fig. 10). The Guide<br />
Wire Ruler (1806-0022) may be<br />
used by placing it on the Guide Wire<br />
reading the correct nail length at the<br />
end of the Guide Wire on the Guide<br />
Wire Ruler (Fig. 11 and 12). Confirm<br />
the position of the tip of the Guide<br />
Wire prior to measurement.<br />
Note:<br />
If the fracture is suitable for<br />
ap position/compression, the<br />
implant selected should be<br />
6−10mm shorter than measured<br />
to help avoid migra tion of the nail<br />
beyond the insertion site.
