T2 Humeral Nailing System Operative Technique - Stryker

Operative Technique – Retrograde Technique
End Cap Insertion
After removal of the Target Device, an
End Cap is used to reduce the potential
for bony ingrowth into the proximal
threads of the nail.
End Caps are available in six sizes
(Fig. 76).
The End Cap is inserted with the Short
Screwdriver Shaft assembled on the
Teardrop Handle after intra-operative
radiographs show satisfactory reduction
and hardware implantation
(Fig. 77). Fully seat the End Cap to
minimize the potential for loosening.
Caution:
To avoid impingement, carefully
select the length of the End Cap.
Close the wound using standard technique.
Dynamic Locking Mode
Controlled dynamic locking may be
utilized for transverse or axially stable
fractures.
Retrograde dynamization is performed
by statically locking the nail proximally.
The guided Locking Screw is then
placed in the dynamic position of the
oblong hole. This allows the nail to
move, and the fracture to settle while
torsional stability is maintained
(Fig. 78).
