T2 Supracondylar Nailing System - Stryker

Operative Technique
End Cap Insertion
After removal of the Target Device,
the End Cap should be used in order
to avoid bony ingrowth into the distal
thread of the nail. One cannulated end
cap is available for all nail sizes (Fig. 48).
Note:
The End Cap will lock the Locking
Screw at the distal end of the
nail. This will create a fixed angle
between Nail and Locking Screw
and prevent lateral sliding of the
nail.

The End Cap is inserted with the Long
Screwdriver Shaft (1806-0229) and the
Teardrop Handle after intra-operative
radiographs show satisfactory reduction
and hardware implantation (Fig.
49). Fully seat the End Cap to minimize
the potential for loosening.
Thoroughly irrigate the wound to
prevent debris from remaining within
the knee joint and close using standard
technique.
