Removing the Reaming Rod
Pass the plastic Medullary Tube over the reaming rod to maintain reduction. Replace the reaming rod with the 3.0 mm Guide Rod*. Remove the plastic tube.

*This guide rod is used instead of the 4.0 mm femoral guide rod.
It is flattened at each end to prevent it from being used as a reaming rod. Its 3.O mm diameter is more flexible tor easier passage through the bend in the tibial nail. The guide rod passes through the Threaded Conical Bolt, not through a posterior hole at the bend in the nail as with the original AO/ASIF Tibial Nail.
