Assembling the Insertion Instrumentation

The Insertion Handle

The Insertion Handle guides the nail and controls rotation during insertion. Although the Insertion Handle is usually oriented medially throughout the procedure, it may be rotated laterally (180°) for easier insertion. If the nail is to be locked, the Insertion Handle must be oriented medially; it is then used as an aiming device for inserting the medial-to-laterally placed proximal locking bolts.
