Zimmer® Natural Nail® System Cephalomedullary Nail Surgical Technique - Standard

Product Overview
The Zimmer Natural Nail System is a
system of intramedullary nails, screws,
instruments and other associated
implants that are designed to provide
stable internal fixation for fractured long
bones. The nails have been designed
for specific applications to help restore
the shape of the fractured bone to its
natural, pre-injured state.
The Cephalomedullary Nail was
designed to help treat fractures of the
femur, especially intertrochanteric
and subtrochanteric fractures. The nail
features a small proximal section that
is designed to minimize the amount
of bone that must be removed for nail
insertion. A lag screw is placed through
the nail into the femoral head to secure
the nail in place proximally and help
control the different segments of the
bone while healing occurs. Screws are
placed through the nail distally to further
secure the implant in place and maintain
length and alignment while healing
occurs.
A choice of short and long nails, as
well as nails of different diameters and
center-column-diaphyseal (CCD) angles
are available to best match the individual
anatomy of the patient.

Distal Screw Diameter: 5.0mm

Contraindications

Distal Screw Lengths: 20 to 60mm in
2.5mm increments, 65 to 100mm in
5mm increments

•	 A medullary canal obliterated by a
previous fracture or tumor

Distal Screws available in fully- and
partially-threaded configurations

•	 Bone shaft having excessive bow or
deformity

Materials: Ti-6Al-4V alloy

•	 Lack of bone substance or bone
quality, which makes stable seating of
the implant impossible

Precision instrumentation is provided
to help implant the nail. Many of the
instruments and implants feature a color
coding system to help the surgical team
use the system. Certain instruments are
not color coded. The color coding system
is referenced in the technique. A wall
chart (97-2493-003-00) is also available
to help explain the color coding system.

Indications
The Zimmer Natural Nail System is
intended for temoraty fracture fixation
and stabilization of the bone.
Indications for the Cephalomedullary
nails include:
•	 Compound and simple shaft fractures
•	 Proximal, metaphyseal and distal shaft
fractures
•	 Segmental fractures
•	 Comminuted fractures

Implant Overview

•	 Fractures involving osteopenic and
osteoporotic bone

Nail Diameters: 10, 11.5, 13, 14.5 (14.5
is available only for short nails)

WARNING: This nail should only be used
to treat a periprosthetic fracture if the in
situ device is firmly fixed. When treating
a periprosthetic fracture, the nail should
be positioned so that it does not come in
contact with the in situ device.

Surgical Technique
Preoperative Planning
Preoperative planning is recommended
before beginning the surgical procedure.
An A/P and Lateral x-ray of the injured
femur should be taken preoperatively
and evaluated for length, canal size
and implant suitability. A/P and Lateral
x-rays of the contralateral uninjured
femur can also be taken preoperatively
to provide insight into the characteristics
of the pre-injured femur.

Zimmer® Natural Nail® System Cephalomedullary Nail Surgical Technique - Standard

Patient Positioning
Patients can be positioned either supine
or in a lateral decubitus position. As the
C-arm will be used during the procedure,
care should be taken to orient the patient
to allow for A/P and Lateral imaging of
the proximal femur, the fracture and
the distal femur. The use of a fracture
table can be beneficial in helping to
reduce fractures as well as to facilitate
intraoperative imaging with a C-arm. The
patient should be positioned to allow
for easy access to the greater trochanter
of the femur with instrumentation.
Adduction of the affected leg can also be
helpful, especially in the supine position.
Drape the patient appropriately to allow
the surgeon to work around the hip and
full length of the femur (to the knee).

Reduction
It is critical to achieve anatomic
reduction before beginning any of the
steps to place the intramedullary nail.
Traction should be used as necessary to
help achieve fracture reduction. Several
instruments are available to assist in
fracture reduction including clamps, ball
spike pushers and Steinmann pins.

Starting Point Location
Palpate the greater trochanter manually.
Incise the skin starting about 2 cm
proximal to the tip of the greater
trochanter and extending proximally 2
to 3 cm. Dissect through the tissues
splitting the fascia lata down to the
bone. Assemble the STARTING POINT
LOCATOR inside the ENTRY CANNULA.
Place the tip of the STARTING POINT
LOCATOR through the incision down to
the tip of the greater trochanter (Fig. 1).
In large patients and/or when using the
standard guide, a more proximal incision
may be appropriate.

Alternatively, a CANNULATED AWL can be
used to find the entry point and create
the entry portal (Fig. 3). Widening of
the fracture side and varus tilting of the
proximal fragment should be avoided.

Fig. 1

Place the 3.0mm PIN through the center
hole of the STARTING POINT LOCATOR.
Use the C-arm to visualize the pin’s
position from an A/P and Lateral view.
The pin should be inserted at the tip of
the greater trochanter in the posterior
portion of the middle third of the
trochanter. The pin should not be on the
lateral portion of the greater trochanter,
it must be on the tip. A starting point
slightly medial to the tip of the trochanter
is also acceptable.

Fig. 2

NOTE: A starting point lateral to the tip
of the greater trochanter may lead to a
varus reduction following nail insertion.
If necessary, remove the pin and move
it into the hole in the STARTING POINT
LOCATOR that will align the pin correctly
with the tip of the greater trochanter.
Drive the pin through the tip of the
greater trochanter down to the level
of the lesser trochanter. Remove the
STARTING POINT LOCATOR from the
ENTRY CANNULA. Use the 8mm ENTRY
REAMER to ream an entry portal into the
proximal femur through the starting point
on the tip of the greater trochanter	
(Fig 2). Remove the reamer and 	
3.0mm pin.

Place a 3.0mm x 100cm BALL TIP GUIDE WIRE
or TEAR DROP GUIDE WIRE through the ENTRY
CANNULA, all the way into the distal femur (Fig.
4). To aid in manipulation, bend the tip of the
GUIDE WIRE at about a 10o angle 5cm from the
end.
CAUTION: If the GUIDE WIRE is bent shorter
than 5cm from the end of the wire and/or
more than 10 degrees it may be difficult to
remove from the nail. If the wire becomes
lodged inside the nail, utilize the GUIDE WIRE
GRIPPER and mallet to remove the guide wire
from the nail.
If you plan to ream the canal of the femur, the
GUIDE WIRE should be embedded in the distal
femur at the level of the distal epiphyseal scar
using the GUIDE WIRE GRIPPER and a MALLET
(Fig. 5). Care should be taken not to drive the
wire through the knee joint.  

A REDUCTION FINGER is included in the set.
The ball tip guide wire can be fed retrograde
through the REDUCTION FINGER. The
REDUCTION FINGER can then be placed into the
femur and used to help reduce the femur from
the inside as well as to help facilitate passage
of the guide wire past the fracture site.

indicates the final position of the top of the
nail. The two distal grooves help visualize the
placement of the lag screw. Visualizing a line
between these grooves on each side of the
reamer (under fluoroscopic visualization) will
indicate where a 130° CCD angle lag screw
would be placed in the femoral neck and head.

If a LONG NAIL is to be implanted, assemble
the Two Piece NAIL LENGTH GAUGE. This step
can be skipped if using a short nail (21.5cm
in length). Slide the tube portion of the gauge
over the 3.0mm x 100cm GUIDE WIRE until
the tip of the tube is at the level of the tip
of the greater trochanter (confirm position
using fluoroscopy) (Fig. 6). The proximal end
of the GUIDE WIRE indicates the length of
the wire in the canal. When determining nail
length, consideration should be taken as to
how deep the nail will be inserted into the
femur based upon the shape of the patient’s
proximal femur. A RULER is also included in
the set which can be used to radiographically
determine nail length.

Proximal Reaming
Use the 15.5mm TAPERED REAMER (BLUE) to
prepare the proximal femur for the proximal
portion of the nail (Fig. 7).  The C-arm should
be used to visualize the depth of the reamer
in the proximal femur.  Care should be taken
to keep the reamer in line with the shaft of the
femur to avoid reaming through the cortex of
the femur.

Fig. 4

The 15.5mm TAPERED REAMER has three
grooves on it. The most proximal groove

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

Fig. 7

A CHANNEL REAMER is also available for
proximal reaming. The INNER CHANNEL
REAMER is placed inside the 14.5mm
CHANNEL REAMER SLEEVE and secured
by twisting the connector. The CHANNEL
REAMER is then advanced over the GUIDE
WIRE through the greater trochanter. Advance
the reamer to level of the lesser trochanter
(Fig. 8), or deep enough to accommodate the
proximal body of the nail.

Fig. 8

Zimmer® Natural Nail® System Cephalomedullary Nail Surgical Technique - Standard

After reaming to the proper depth, the INNER
CHANNEL REAMER is removed by disengaging
the connector and pulling the INNER
CHANNEL REAMER out of the surgical field
(Fig.9). The CHANNEL REAMER SLEEVE can
be left in place to act as a tissue protection
sleeve during shaft reaming for shaft reamers
up to 13mm in diameter. To achieve greater
reaming depth or diameter, the ENTRY
CANNULA can be used in place of the sleeve.
To facilitate reamer removal via the sleeve,
power the reamer until it enters the sleeve.
Following shaft reaming the CHANNEL
REAMER SLEEVE should be removed from the
surgical field (Fig.10).

reaming. Choose a nail that is 1.5 - 2.0mm
smaller than the last reamer used. If a short
nail is to be used, it is only necessary to
ream the proximal 21.5cm of the canal. If a
long nail is planned, ream the full length of
the canal. The GUIDE WIRE PUSHER can help
prevent the GUIDE WIRE from coming out of
the femur during reaming.
NOTE: If the GUIDE WIRE becomes lodged
within the reamer, use the GUIDE WIRE
PUSHER to push the GUIDE WIRE back into
the IM canal.

Implant Selection
The diameter and length of the nail have
already been determined (using nail length
gauge and last size of reamer utilized).
Visualizing the reduced femur and/or the
contralateral femur, determine which CCD
angle is appropriate for the patient.

Fig. 10

Place the CONNECTING BOLT through the
barrel of the TARGETING GUIDE (Fig. 14).
The arrow on the nail (with an R for a Right
Nail or an L for a Left Nail) will line up with
the arrow on the barrel of the guide when
the nail is correctly aligned.

The color code for the cephalomedullary
nail is BLUE.  Ti-6Al-4V alloy nails, the
TARGETING GUIDE and the CONNECTING
BOLT all have blue colors on them, as well
as the word BLUE on them.      

Begin threading the CONNECTING BOLT
(by hand or using the CONNECTING BOLT
INSERTER) into the proximal portion of the
nail. Orient the proximal portion of the nail
so that the slots in the nail match up with
the corresponding tines on the barrel of
the TARGETING GUIDE. Completely tighten
the CONNECTING BOLT using an 11mm
WRENCH to secure the nail to the guide
(Fig 15).

Fig. 9

Both a MODULAR STANDARD
(00-2490-003-10) and STANDARD
(00-2490-003-00) TARGETING GUIDE
exists. When implanting a short
nail the STANDARD TARGETING
GUIDE (Fig. 12) must be used. When
implanting a long nail, either the
MODULAR STANDARD TARGETING
GUIDE (Fig. 13) or STANDARD
TARGETING GUIDE can be used.

Shaft Reaming
Reaming should be performed through
the ENTRY CANNULA.  To reduce the risk
of enlarging the entry hole laterally, push
the ENTRY CANNULA medially. Start with a
small reamer. Increase the diameter of the
reamer by 0.5 - 1.0mm depending on the
amount of resistance felt while reaming.

Insert the nail over the GUIDE WIRE with
the arm of the guide facing anteriorly
(Fig. 16).

Lay the guide attached to the nail over
the femur. Confirm that the bow of the
nail is anterior similar to the bow of the
femur. Confirm also that the lag screw
hole in the nail is oriented to guide a
lag screw into the femoral head. Care
must be taken to ensure that the correct
nail is selected and that it is assembled
correctly to the guide. If this is not
the case, loosen and reattach the nail
appropriately or choose the correct nail
and attach it to the guide.
Use a LAG SCREW CANNULA and the
LAG SCREW REAMER or a CANNULA,
DRILL SLEEVE AND DRILL to verify
that the guide will target all required
holes in the nail correctly. Hole
indicators can be placed in static
(ST) and dynamic (DY) holes of the
targeting guide and in holes for CCD
angles that will not be used to avoid
the accidental use of those holes
during the surgery. Use a pushand-twist motion when inserting the
hole indicators to help ensure that
they stay in place.

As the nail passes through the canal,
it will naturally turn approximately 90°
until the anterior bow of the nail is in line
with the bow of the femur. Monitor the
progression of the nail down the canal
using the C-arm, especially as the nail is
passing through or near the fracture site.
CAUTION: Do not pry excessively on the
targeting guide as damage may result.

Fig. 16

CAUTION: Do not strike excessively as
damage to the guide and bone may
result. Verify that the CONNECTING BOLT
is tight while, and after, impacting.
Do not impact on any portion of the
TARGETING GUIDE as this may break the
guide or cause it to lose its accuracy.
If the nail will not advance with
impaction, remove the nail and ream the
canal to a larger diameter at additional
0.5 mm increments or consider using a
smaller diameter nail.

The STANDARD TARGETING GUIDE
is designed to target the transverse
distal static (ST) and dynamic (DY)
holes in SHORT nails. As the guide is
designed to work with both left and
right ST and DY holes, care must be
taken to ensure that the correct ST/
DY holes will be used for the surgery
(use the left holes when using a left
nail, and vice versa). The holes that
will be used to place screws into the
distal portion of SHORT NAILS are on
the anterior side of the guide when
the patient is in a supine position.
The MODULAR STANDARD
TARGETING GUIDE (00-2490-00310) is not designed to target the
transverse distal static (ST) and
dynamic (DY) holes and therefore
should not be used with short nails.

If the nail does not pass down the canal
easily, attach the IMPACTION HEAD to the
TARGETING GUIDE. Using the MALLET,
impact gently on the IMPACTION HEAD
(Fig. 17).

Anteversion can be verified by placing a
threaded guide pin through the skin and
soft tissue along the anterior axis of the
femoral neck.
Remove the GUIDE WIRE from the nail
using the GUIDE WIRE GRIPPER.

Fig. 17

If it is desired to utilize an antirotation
pin to assist in stabilizing the femoral
head during lag screw preparation and
insertion, a 3.2mm PIN can be used.
It can be placed using a freehand
technique anterior to the nail and into
the femoral neck and head.1,2

Zimmer® Natural Nail® System Cephalomedullary Nail Surgical Technique - Standard

The holes proximal to the lag
screw cannula holes in the
STANDARD TARGETING GUIDE are
used merely as a general reference
for the pin placement through the
implant antirotation pin hole and
must not be solely relied upon to
accurately place the pin.

Lag Screw Placement
For the STANDARD and MODULAR
STANDARD GUIDES, instruments marked
BLUE are utilized to place the LAG SCREW.
Marks on the targeting guides near the
holes indicate the color of cannula that
should be passed through that specific
hole. The chart below details the color
coded instruments that are used to target
and place the lag screw.

Assemble the LAG SCREW TROCAR into
the LAG SCREW CANNULA and pass
through the correct hole in the TARGETING
GUIDE for the chosen CCD angle. The lag
screw hole labeled 125 is designed to
be used with the long and short nails
containing a 125º CCD angle, the lag
screw hole labeled 130 is designed to
be used with the long and short nails
containing a 130º CCD angle, and the
lag screw hole labeled 135 is designed
to be used with the long and short nails
containing a 135º CCD angle.  Make a
small skin incision, then dissect through
the fascia and other soft tissues down to
the bone. Advance the cannula through
the guide down to the bone (Fig. 18).  
CAUTION: Do not impact on the cannula,
as the tip of the cannula may skive along
the bone and prevent accurate targeting

CAUTION: Retighten the CONNECTING
BOLT to the nail to maintain targeting
accuracy.
The Tip-Apex Distance (TAD), the sum of
the distances of the tip of the lag screw to
the apex of the femoral head in the A/P
and Lateral x-ray views, has been shown
to be a key indicator in reducing cut-out of
lag screws in the femoral head. The TAD
should be less than 25mm.3
Position the TARGETING GUIDE so that the
trajectory of the LAG SCREW CANNULA
will place the lag screw in the appropriate
position in the femoral head and neck.
PINS can be held over the skin in line with
the LAG SCREW CANNULA to help estimate
this position and correct CCD angle.
NOTE: If planning to use an ANTIROTATION
PIN to further stabilize the femoral head,
insert the DOUBLE CANNULA instead of
the LAG SCREW CANNULA.

Fig. 18

CAUTION: Both 3.0mm and 3.2mm
instruments (guide pins, depth gauges,
reamers, taps, pin sleeves) are available.
The 3.2mm versions of the instruments
can easily be distinguished as they
have gold coating on them. The 3.0mm
and 3.2mm instruments can not be
used interchangeably. Mixing of these
instruments can lead to lag screw mismeasurement which could result in patient
injury and/or damage to the instruments.
This technique describes use of the 3.2mm
instruments. The 3.0mm instruments can
be used in an identical fashion.

Fig. 19

Another A/P C-arm image can be taken at
this point to ensure that the TARGETING
GUIDE is still aligned correctly by
visualizing a line extending from the
center of the cannula into the femoral
head. Remove the TROCAR and insert
the 3.2mm LAG SCREW PIN SLEEVE.
Insert a 3.2mm PIN through the PIN
SLEEVE. Under fluoroscopy, drill the PIN
to the level of the subchondral bone of
the femoral head without penetrating the
femoral cortex (Fig. 19).  
Assess the position of the PIN using the
C-arm in the A/P and Lateral planes. If
the PIN is appropriately placed, proceed
with the next steps.
NOTE: If the PIN is not appropriately
placed, remove it, adjust the guide
under fluoroscopy and replace the PIN
correctly.
TECHNIQUE TIP – If the PIN appears to be
changing direction at the point it enters
the lateral cortex of the femur, remove
the pin and pin sleeve and perforate
the lateral cortex using the lag screw
reamer. Replace the pin sleeve in the
cannula and drive the pin as previously
stated to the level of the subchondral
bone in the femoral head.

If it is desired to utilize an ANTIROTATION
PIN to assist in stabilizing the femoral
head during lag screw insertion, a
3.0mm ANTIROTATION PIN can be placed
into the femoral neck and head using
a DOUBLE CANNULA. Use the smaller
sleeve of the DOUBLE CANNULA to place
this pin at this time. The pin is passed
so that it does not penetrate the femoral
cortex in the femoral head or neck (Fig.
20). Place pin to appropriate depth beyond
fracture site to provide stabilization.

the PIN in the depth gauge indicates the
length of lag screw to be used.

NOTE: Place the 3.2mm PIN prior to
the ANTIROTATION PIN to reduce mistargeting. Position the ANTIROTATION
PIN slightly proximal to the center-line
of the femoral neck.

Prior to reaming, manually bend the
ANTIROTATION PIN approximately 30o
away from the path of the 3.2mm PIN.
Attach the LAG SCREW REAMER to the
drill. Ream over the PIN to the level of the
subchondral bone (Fig. 24).  While drilling,
use the C-arm intermittently to verify
position of the reamer and to make sure
that the PIN is not migrating through the
femoral head. Remove the reamer. Push
the end of the PIN while withdrawing the
power tool.

Slide the LAG SCREW STOP ASSEMBLY
onto the LAG SCREW REAMER (Fig. 22).
Place the window in the stop over the
number measured with the CANNULATED
LAG SCREW DEPTH GAUGE (Fig. 23). If the
measurement was between markings on
the cannulated depth gauge, set the stop
to the smaller number.

The lag screw is self tapping. If preferred,
tap a hole for the lag screw over the PIN.
The stop can be used to indicate the
appropriate depth gauge.
Select the appropriate length LAG SCREW
based on previous measurements. The
SCREW DEPTH GAUGE can also be used
to verify the length of lag screw that
should be used.
Attach the LAG SCREW to the LAG SCREW
INSERTER using the LAG SCREW RETAINING
SHAFT to fully secure the screw to the
inserter (Fig. 25).

As the device presses against the
LAG SCREW CANNULA, it will generate
compression across the fracture 	
(Fig. 30). Compress as needed to reduce
the fracture.

If compression is planned, thread the
COMPRESSION DEVICE onto the LAG
SCREW INSERTER and twist it to the level
of the handle (Fig. 26). This may be done
before or after attaching the lag screw.

Fig. 30

Fig. 26

Insert the LAG SCREW over the PIN
and into the femur (Fig. 27). Confirm
placement using the C-arm. The handle
on the LAG SCREW INSERTER must be
parallel or perpendicular to the axis of
the guide (indicated by colored dots
between the holes for the lag screw
cannulas). Rotate the LAG SCREW
INSERTER up to 90° in order to correctly
orient the handle to the guide (Fig. 28).  
NOTE: Do not overtighten the lag screw.
The distal edge must protrude laterally
through the femur to ensure that sliding
can occur.
TECHNIQUE TIP: If using an
ANTIROTATION PIN through the nail,
position the T-handle perpendicular
to the guide. This reduces the risk
of interference when removing the
ANTIROTATION PIN.

A SET SCREW (included in the lag screw
package or packaged separately) must
be used to prevent the lag screw from
rotating post-operatively. Insert the tip
of the FLEXIBLE CAPTURED SET SCREW
DRIVER or 3.5mm HEX SCREWDRIVER into
the 3.5mm hex end of the SET SCREW
(Fig. 31).
Fig. 28

NOTE: Remove the ANTIROTATION PIN (if
used).
If compression is desired, twist the
COMPRESSION DEVICE in a clockwise
fashion (Fig. 29).

The SET SCREW is then passed through
the CONNECTING BOLT into the proximal
portion of the nail (Fig. 32).

Zimmer® Natural Nail® System Cephalomedullary Nail Surgical Technique - Standard

NOTE: If using the FLEXIBLE CAPTURED SET
SCREW DRIVER make sure that it is not
used at an angle greater than 40˚. If it is
used at an angle greater than 40˚, it may be
damaged.

Disengage the LAG SCREW INSERTER
from the LAG SCREW. A 3.5mm HEX
SCREWDRIVER may be used to disengage
the LAG SCREW RETAINING SHAFT from the
LAG SCREW.

NOTE: Do not drive the set screw into the
nail under power as damage to the set
screw or the nail could result.

TECHNIQUE TIP: The LAG SCREW CANNULA
can be left in place to aid in stabilizing the
construct during distal screw placement in
the short nails, if desired (Fig. 34). Remove
the FLEXIBLE CAPTURED SET SCREW DRIVER
and set aside.

The SET SCREW should be tightened down
into the groove in the lag screw. As noted
above, the LAG SCREW INSERTER must be
positioned so that the handle on the inserter
is parallel or perpendicular to the colored
dots on the TARGETING GUIDE in order for
the SET SCREW and LAG SCREW grooves
to engage properly. To verify engagement,
attempt to twist the LAG SCREW INSERTER.
If it cannot be rotated using a reasonable
amount of force, the construct is in the
correct position. If rotation is possible,
adjust the position of the LAG SCREW (rotate
slightly) so that the set screw can enter the
groove in the LAG SCREW (Fig. 33).

The MODULAR STANDARD TARGETING
GUIDE can not be used to distal target
the short nails.

Fig. 34

Assemble the TROCAR to the 8.0mm
CANNULA. Pass the CANNULA through the
appropriate hole in the TARGETING GUIDE
to target the distal hole or slot. The hole is
labeled ST is for the Static Hole. The hole
labeled DY is for the Dynamic Slot.

Distal Targeting For Short Nails
Color coded instruments are also used
for distal targeting of short nails.  For the
STANDARD TARGETING GUIDE, instruments
marked GREEN are utilized to place the
distal screws. The chart below details the
color coded instruments that are used for
distal targeting and distal screw placement.

NOTE: To achieve sliding, tighten
the SET SCREW and then rotate the
FLEXIBLE CAPTURED SET SCREW DRIVER
counterclockwise one quarter turn. Do
not unscrew the SET SCREW more than
one quarter turn. 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 SCREW
INSERTER.

DY holes, care must be taken to ensure
that the correct targeting holes (left or
right) are used for drilling and screw
placement. At this point in the surgery,
with the guide oriented horizontally
and the nail in place, the correct holes
are on the top (anterior) side of the
guide. A YELLOW CAUTION SYMBOL is
engraved on the face of the guide near
the ST/DY holes to remind the surgeon
to take note of the placement of the
screw. Additionally, the words “LEFT”
and “RIGHT” are embossed in green
on the appropriate side of the guide
where the SCREW CANNULAS should
be placed to insert these screws.

After pressing the tip of the TROCAR and
CANNULA against the skin, make a small
incision at that point through the skin and
fascia lata. Spread the soft tissue down to
the bone. Advance the CANNULA down to
the bone.
CAUTION: Do not impact on the CANNULA
or TROCAR, as the tip of the cannula may
skive along the bone and prevent accurate
targeting.
Remove the TROCAR (if used) and insert the
4,3mm DRILL SLEEVE into the CANNULA.
Utilize the 4.3mm DRILL BIT to drill through
both cortices of bone. The depth of the hole
can be measured using calibrations on the
DRILL BIT.  Another option is to remove the
drill bit and the drill sleeve and then use the
SCREW DEPTH GAUGE to measure the depth
of the hole.
CAUTION: In cases where hard cortical
bone is encountered, or at the surgeon’s
preference, a 5.0mm TAP (00-2490-048-50)
can be used to ease insertion of the screws.

The nail utilizes a 5.0mm screw distally.
The screw packages are labeled with
the color RED. The distal hole and slot
in the nail allows for standard or fixed
angle locking.  To achieve STANDARD
LOCKING, choose a PARTIALLY THREADED
5.0mm SCREW.  To achieve a FIXED ANGLE
construct, choose a FIXED ANGLE 5.0mm
SCREW (Fig 35), applicable for long
nails only). In SHORT nails, either screw
type will result in a STANDARD LOCKING
construct.

the C-arm in order to get a lateral view of the
distal femur. Adjust the angle of the C-arm
so that the hole through the nail appears as
a perfect circle on the monitor.  Bring the tip
of the drill bit to the skin and use the C-arm
to center it over the hole that you desire to
place a screw through.  Make a stab wound
at this point and dissect down to the bone.
Place the tip of the drill bit against the bone.
Verify that the tip of the drill bit is in the
center of the hole. Align the drill bit with the
C-arm beam. Tap the drill bit into the bone
using the MALLET.
Remove the DISTAL TARGETING DEVICE. Slide
the FREE HAND TISSUE PROTECTION SLEEVE
over the DRILL BIT.  Attach the DRILL to the
FREE HAND 4.3mm DRILL BIT and advance
the drill bit through the bone. Verify that the
drill bit has gone through the hole in the nail.

Fig. 35

Choose the appropriate length screw based
on the DEPTH GAUGE or DRILL BIT reading.  
Use the 3.5mm HEX SCREWDRIVER to place
the screw bicortically through the bone.
If using the CAPTURED SCREWDRIVER,
place the appropriate screw on the 3.5mm
HEX and tighten the screw to the CAPTURED
SCREWDRIVER by turning the knob next to
the handle clockwise.

Remove the drill bit. Measure the depth of
the hole using the FREE HAND SCREW DEPTH
GAUGE. Insert the appropriate length screw
using the screwdriver.
If using the CAPTURED SCREWDRIVER, place
the appropriate screw on the 3.5mm HEX
and tighten the screw to the CAPTURED
SCREWDRIVER by turning the knob next to
the handle clockwise (Fig. 36).  

Final Implant Placement
Observe the depth of the nail in the
proximal femur. Ridges at 5 and 10mm
from the end of the targeting guide barrel
indicate nail depth.
It is recommended to use a NAIL CAP
to close the proximal part of the nail to
prevent bone ingrowth.
Place a 2.0mm GUIDE PIN through the
CONNECTING BOLT and into the proximal
portion of the NAIL. Loosen and remove the
CONNECTING BOLT from the nail taking care
to leave the 2.0mm GUIDE PIN in place. If a
NAIL CAP will not be used, do not introduce
the 2.0mm GUIDE PIN.
TECHNIQUE NOTE: The 0mm height
NAIL CAP can be placed through the
TARGETING GUIDE following removal of
the CONNECTING BOLT. Other NAIL CAPS
cannot be placed until the TARGETING
GUIDE is also removed.
Choose the appropriate height of NAIL
CAP. Secure the selected NAIL CAP to the
NAIL CAP INSERTER using the NAIL CAP
RETAINING SHAFT (Fig. 37).  

CAUTION: If using the CAPTURED SCREW
DRIVER, do not torque the CAPTURED
SCREWDRIVER beyond the calibration line
next to the handle.
CAUTION: Do not drive the screws into the
bone under power, as damage to the bone,
screws and nail could result.

Fig. 36

Remove the screwdriver and cannula.
If desired, repeat these steps to place
another screw in the other hole or slot.
If not previously done, remove the LAG
SCREW CANNULA.

CAUTION: If using the CAPTURED SCREW
DRIVER, do not torque the CAPTURED
SCREWDRIVER beyond the calibration line
next to the handle.

Freehand Technique for Long Nails
Insert the FREE HAND 4.3mm DRILL BIT
(RED) into the DISTAL TARGETING DEVICE.
Finger tighten the SET SCREW.  Position

CAUTION: Do not drive the screws into the
bone under power, as damage to the bone,
screws and nail could result.
Repeat these steps to insert additional distal
screws.

* It is the responsibility of the surgeon to determine what is the most suitable postoperative
care depending on each patient’s health condition.

Place the NAIL CAP over the 2.0mm GUIDE
WIRE and thread it into the top of the NAIL.
Using the C-arm, verify that the cap is
completely seated in the top of the nail.
Disengage the NAIL CAP INSERTER from the
NAIL CAP. Remove the 2.0mm GUIDE PIN.
Close all wounds and apply the appropriate
dressings.

Postoperative Care
Early range of motion exercises of the knee
and ankle are encouraged.  Allow toe-touch
weight bearing to progress to full weight
bearing as fracture callus increases on the
x-ray films.*

Nail Extraction
Use the C-arm to locate any distal screws.
Remove the screws using a 3.5mm HEX
SCREWDRIVER. Remove the NAIL CAP
(if one was inserted) with a 5.0mm
HEX SCREWDRIVER.  Use a 3.5mm HEX
SCREWDRIVER to remove the set screw.
Expose the lag screw and use the LAG
SCREW INSERTER to remove it.
NOTE: To remove the lag screw it is not
necessary that the set screw is completely
removed. Turn the set screw two turns
backwards and make sure that the set
screw is still engaged in the threads of the
nail.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the LAG
SCREW CANNULA as guidance for the LAG
SCREW INSERTER while removing the lag
screw. Assemble the LAG SCREW INSERTER
through the LAG SCREW CANNULA into
the lag screw. Use the compression device
to push the LAG SCREW CANNULA to the
bone. Make sure the LAG SCREW INSERTER
is fully seated. Hand tighten the LAG
SCREW INSERTER with the 3.5mm HEX
SCREWDRIVER.
To remove the nail, slide a 3.0mm x
100cm GUIDE WIRE through the nail. Insert
the CEPHALOMEDULLARY CANNULATED
EXTRACTION ADAPTER over the wire into
the top of the nail. Tighten the adapter to
the nail. Attach a SLAPHAMMER or other
impaction device and impact to back
out the nail. The nail should move with
each impaction. Periodically retighten
the adapter and/or SLAPHAMMER during
extraction as needed. The nail may rotate
as it passes through the canal during
extraction.
