Note:
The position of the end of the Drill
as it relates to the far cortex is equal Fig. 27
to where the end of the screw will
be. Therefore, if the end of the Drill
is 3mm beyond the far cortex, the
end of the screw will also be 3mm
beyond.
Note:
The Screw Gauge, Long is calibrated
so that with the bend at the end
pulled back flush with the far cortex,
the screw tip will end 3mm beyond
the far cortex (Fig. 27).

Note:
Distal locking should always be
performed with at least two screws,
locking the hole nearest the fracture

Note:
8mm Tibial Nails must always be

Note:
As with all sizes of the S2 Tbial Nail,
the 8mm Nails use 5.0mm Screws

Note:
Distal freehand static or guided
locking with at least two screws
must be performed prior to applying
active, controlled aposition/
compression to the fracture site.
Fig. 43
If active apposition/compression
is required, the Partially Threaded
Locking Screw (Shaft Screw) is
inserted via the Target Device in
the dynamic position of the M/L
oblong hole (Fig. 43). This allow for a
maximum of 10mm, active controlled
apposition/compression.

Operative Technique
Note:
Prior to compressing the fracture,
the nail must be countersunk a safe
distance from the entry point to
accommodate for the 10mm of active
compression. The three grooves Fig. 45
on the insertion post help attain
accurate insertion depth of the
implant.
Note:
Apposition/compression should be
carried out under fluoroscopy. Over-
tightening of the Compression Screw
onto the Partially Threaded Locking
Screw (Shaft Screw) may result in the
screw to fail.
Note:
After inserting the Compression
Screw, the End Cap can no longer be
used.

Note:
DO NOT remove the more distal

attaching the Universal Rod (1806-

nail. Doing so may result in the
nail moving posteriorly, making it
difficult to attach the Universal Rod
to the nail.
Note:
The Screwdriver Shaft may be used
in conjunction with the optional
