<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 />

Hole Positions (nondriving end) *<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 />

Fig. 12<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 />
