Alternate Distal Locking Techniques

Several alternative techniques are available to the surgeon for distal locking if the Radiolucent Drive is not available. The Distal Aiming Device requires a minimum working distance of 47 cm between the receiver and the patient's leg; see Distal Locking with the Distal Aiming Device section of this guide. If less distance is available, see Drilling in Two Steps section of this guide, or use a 4.0 mm/4.5 mm Drill Bit [355.90] for standard freehand technique.
