Assemble the insertion instruments
Orient the Insertion Handle [357.112] laterally and match the flats on the handle and nail. The anterior bow of the implant must be aligned with the anterior bow of the femur.
Place the Connecting Screw [357.095] into the
Insertion Handle and thread it into the distal end
of the nail. Tighten the Connecting Screw with
the SpannerWrench [321.25].
Do not over tighten.
Slide the Hammer Guide [357.22] through the Slide Hammer [357.29] and attach the Hammer Guide to the Connecting Screw. Finger-tighten the assembly.
Alternate Technique:
A hammer may also be used to
insert the nail. The distal end of
the connecting screw is the direct
striking surface for the hammer.
