<strong>Nail</strong> Selection<br />
Diameter<br />
The diameter of the selected nail<br />
should be 1.5-2mm smaller than that<br />
of the last reamer used. Alternatively,<br />
the diameter may be determined using<br />
the X-ray Ruler Femur, <strong>Compression</strong><br />
(1806-8012) (Fig. 11).<br />

Length<br />
<strong>Nail</strong> length may be determined by<br />
measuring the remaining length of the<br />
Guide Wire (1806-0085S). The Guide<br />
Wire Ruler (1806-0020) may be used<br />
by placing it on the Guide Wire reading<br />
the correct nail length at the end<br />
of the Guide Wire on the Guide Wire<br />
Ruler (Fig. 12 & 13).<br />
Alternatively, the X-Ray Ruler<br />
Femur, <strong>Compression</strong> may be used<br />
to determine nail length (Fig. 11).<br />
Additionally, the X-Ray Ruler can be<br />
used as a guide for locking screw positions.<br />

Note:<br />
If the fracture is suitable for apposition/compression,<br />
the implant<br />
selected should be 10-15mm<br />
shorter than measured, to avoid<br />
migration of the nail beyond the<br />
insertion site.<br />
