Operative Technique Lag Screw Fixation Note: The Set Screw must be used. The use of the Set Screw is not an option. Assemble the Set Screw to the Set Screw Driver. Insert the Set Screw as shown in Figure 56 along the opening of the post of the Targeting Device and advance it through the Nail Holding Screw pushing the Set Screwdriver. Push the Set Screw Driver down until you are sure, that the Set Screw engages the corresponding thread in the nail. During pushing down the assembly, you may feel a slight resistance. Set Screw Alignment Indicator Turn the Screwdriver handle clockwise under continuous pressure. You may notice a resistance when turning the Set Screw. This is because the Set Screw thread is equipped with the “Nylstop” system to prevent spontaneous loosening. Fig. 55 T-Handle end position This is not the final position for the Set Screw. Keep on turning the Set Screw until you feel contact in one of the grooves of the Lag Screw. Fig. 55a 34
Operative Technique To verify the correct position of the Set Screw, try to turn the Lag Screwdriver gently clockwise and counterclockwise. If it is not possible to turn the Lag Screwdriver, the Set Screw is engaged in one of the grooves. If the Lag Screw Driver still moves, recorrect the handle position and tighten the Set Screw again until it engages in one of the four grooves. After slightly tightening the Set Screw it should then be unscrewed by one quarter (¼) of a turn, until a small play can be felt at the Lag Screwdriver. This ensures a free sliding of the Lag Screw. Fig. 56 Set Screw insertion Make sure that the Set Screw is still engaged in the groove by checking that it is still not possible to turn the Lag Screw with the Lag Screwdriver. Note: Do not unscrew the Set Screw more than ¼ of a turn. As an alternative, the Set Screw can be inserted using Gamma3 Closed Tube Clip (see next page). If distal locking is not indicated, the End Cap should be assembled to the nail end to prevent bone ingrowth. Leaving the Lag Screwdriver in place, the Nail Holding Screw is now removed using the ball tip Screw Driver or Universal Socket Wrench and turning it counter clockwise. Insert the End Cap (size 0) using the Socket Wrench or the Ball Tip Screwdriver. The End Cap should be tightened slightly. Fig. 57 Please see chapter “End Cap Insertion”. Alternatively the End Cap could also be inserted free hand after removal of the Target Device. 35
