T2 Tibial Nailing System Operative Technique - Stryker

Operative Technique
End Cap Insertion
After removal of the Target Device, an
End Cap is used. Eight different sizes
of End Caps* are available to adjust
nail length and to reduce the potential
for bony ingrowth into the proximal
threads of the nail (Fig. 31).
The End Cap is inserted with the
Screwdriver Shaft and Teardrop
Handle after intra-operative radiographs
show satisfactory reduction
and hardware implantation (Fig. 32
and 33). Fully seat the End Cap to
minimize the potential for loosening.
