NAIL LENGTHS

5”, 6” (For plate lengths longer than 6”, add $1.25 per inch).
All Richards Jewett Nails are solid forged of one piece SMO Stainless
Steel. The plate ends are rounded to eliminate abrupt protrusion of the
plate from the bone. The underside of the plate is curved completely to
the apex of the angle, making it snug.fitting to the bone.
The angle may be changed from standard by using the No. 414 Jewett
Benders. However, if more than lO change is desired, we recommend
that we make the nail special, properly forming the angle in our hot
forging process.
NO. 381 P JEWETT SUPRACONDYLAR NAIL
Designed to snugly fit the contour of the condyles and shaft of the femur.
Tri-f’anged nail gives firm support.
After a guide wire is passed through the condyles, a /2” D. reamer is placed
over the guide wire to ream out a small portion of the lateral cortex to provide
close coaptation of the nail. The nail is then placed over the guide wire and
driven to just pass through the cortex of the medial condyle.
A regular Jewetf or Smith-Petersen driver may be used. Cannulated for
3/32” guide pins, the nail may also be used in conjunction with a tibia bolt and
washer +o hold fragments.
Unless otherwise specified, plate length of 6” furnished, with nail
