Operative Technique

4.1. Patient Positioning


and Fracture Reduction

a) The patient is placed in the supine


position on a radiolucent fracture
table and the leg is hyperflexed on the
table with the aid of a leg holder, or
b) The leg is free-draped and hung
over the edge of the table (Fig. 2).

The knee is flexed to >90. A


triangle may be used under the
knee to accommodate flexion intra-
operatively. It is important that the
knee rest is placed under the posterior
aspect of the lower thigh in order to
reduce the opportunity of vascular
compression and the risk of pushing
the proximal fragment of the tibia
forward.
Anatomical reduction can be achieved
by internal or external rotation of the
fracture and by traction, adduction
or abduction, and must be confirmed Fig. 2
under image intensification. Draping
must leave the knee and the distal end
of the leg exposed.

4.2. Incision

A paratendenous incision is made


from the patella extending down
approximately 1.54cm in preparation
of nail insertion. The Patellar Tendon
may be retracted laterally or split
at the junction of the medial third,
and lateral two-thirds of the Patellar
Ligament. This exposes the entry
point (Fig. 3).

Fig. 3

Operative Technique

4.3. Entry Point

Fig. 4

Based on radiological image, the


medullary canal is opened through
a superolateral plateau entry portal Fig. 5
(5). The center point of the portal is
located slightly medial to the lateral
tibial spine as visualized on the A/P
radiograph and immediately adjacent
and anterior to the anterior articular
margin as visualized on the true
lateral radiograph.

Radiographic confirmation of this


area is essential to prevent damage to
the intra-articular structure during
portal placement and nail insertion
(Fig. 4). The opening should be
directed with a central orientation
in relation to the medullary canal.
After penetrating the cortex with the
3285mm K-Wire (1806-0050S), the
12mm Rigid Reamer (1806-2012)
is used to access the medullary canal
(Fig. 5). Alternatively, to penetrate the
cortex, the 10mm Straight (1806-
0045), or Curved (1806-0040) Awl
may be used (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6

Note:
Guiding the Rigid Reamer over the
K-Wire prior to K-Wire insertion
within the Proximal Tibia will help
to keep it straight while guiding
the opening instrument centrally
towards the canal. Do not use bent
K-Wires.

Operative Technique

4.4. Unreamed Technique

If an unreamed
technique is
preferred, the
3800mm Smooth
Tip Guide Wire
(1806-0090S) is passed
through the fracture site using
the Guide Wire Handle (1806-0095
and 1806-0096) (Fig. 7). The Universal
Rod (1806-0110) with Reduction
Spoon (1806-0125), may be used as
a fracture reduction tool to facilitate
Guide Wire insertion (Fig. 8). Internal
rotation during insertion will aid in
passing the Guide Wire down the
Fig. 7
tibial shaft. The Guide Wire should lie
in the center of the metaphysis and the
diaphysis in both the A/P and Lateral
views to avoid offset positioning of
the nail. The Guide Wire Handle is
removed leaving the Guide Wire in
place.

Note:
Calibration of the S2 Distal Targeting
Device must be performed prior to
nail insertion, if decided to be used
for Distal Guided Locking procedure.

For detailed information about


Calibration technique, please refer
to the Operative Technique for S2

4.8. Nail Insertion Fig. 14

The selected nail is assembled onto


the Nail Adapter (1806-8001) with the
Nail Holding Screw (1806-8005) (Fig.
14). Securely tighten the Nail Holding
Screw with the Universal Joint Socket
Wrench (1806-0400) so that it does
not loosen during nail insertion
(Fig.15).

Note:

Operative Technique

The Nail is inserted by hand over the


3800mm Guide Wire (if used) and
into the entry site of the proximal
tibia (Fig. 16). Gently manipulate the
nail to help avoid penetration of the
posterior cortex. If the nail is deflected
towards the posterior cortex, remove
the nail, and hyperflex the knee.
Under image control, use a straight
reamer to ream an anterior tract in the
proximal fragment.

The Nail is advanced through the


entry point past the fracture site to the
appropriate level. Remove the Guide
Wire once the nail is past the fracture Fig. 16
site.

The Slotted Hammer can be used


on the Strike Plate (Fig. 17) if dense
bone is encountered. Alternatively,
the Universal Rod (1806-0110) may
be attached to the Strike Plate and
used in conjunction with the Slotted
Hammer (1806-0170) to insert the
nail (Fig. 18). A captured Sliding
Hammer (1806-0175) is available as
an optional addition to the basic
instrument set.

The Tissue Protection Sleeve, Long


(1806-0185) together with the
Drill Sleeve, Long (1806-0215) and
the Trocar, Long (1806-0315) are
positioned through the most distal
static hole of the Target Template by
pressing the Safety Clip (Fig. 24).

The Friction Locking mechanism will


keep the sleeve in place and prevent it
from falling out. It will also prevent
the sleeve from sliding during screw
measurement. To release the Tissue
Protection Sleeve, the Safety Clip
must be pressed again and held while
removing the sleeve.

A small skin incision is made and the


assembly is pushed through until the
Tissue Protection Sleeve is in contact
with the medial cortex of the tibia
(Fig. 25)

The Trocar is removed, with the


Tissue Protection Sleeve and Drill
Sleeve remaining in position.

For accurate drilling, and easy


determination of screw length, use
the center tipped, calibrated 4.2260
Drill (1806-4250S). The centered Drill
is forwarded through the Drill Sleeve
and pushed onto the cortex.

After drilling both cortices, the screw


length may be read directly off the
calibrated Drill at the end of the Drill Fig. 26
Sleeve (Fig. 26).

Operative Technique

If measurement with the Screw Gauge,


Long (1806-0325) is preferred, first 50 mm
remove the Drill Sleeve and read the
screw length directly at the end of the
Tissue Protection Sleeve.

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).

Alternatively, stop the drill when it


engages the far cortex and measure the
drill bit depth off the calibrated drill.
Add 5mm to this length to obtain the
correct screw length.

The screw is advanced through both


cortices. The screw is near its proper
seating position when the groove

4.12. Freehand Distal Locking

The freehand technique is used to


insert Locking Screws into both the
M/L and A/P holes in the nail.
Rotational alignment must be
checked prior to locking the
nail statically.

Multiple locking techniques


and radiolucent drill devices
are available for freehand
locking. The critical step with
any freehand locking technique Fig. 31
is to visualize a perfectly round
locking hole with the C-Arm.

The center-tipped 4.2130 Drill


(1806-4280S) is held at an oblique
angle pointing to the center of the
locking hole (Fig. 31). Upon X-

Operative Technique

Note:
Distal locking should always be
performed with at least two screws,
locking the hole nearest the fracture
site first. Always lock the most
proximal M/L hole. The distal
hole configuration follows: M/L Standard +5mm +10mm +15mm
(most distal), A/P and M/L (most Fig. 36
proximal).

Note:
8mm Tibial Nails must always be
locked distally with 4mm Fully
Threaded Screws.

For the 8mm Tibial Nails, the


3.5130 Drill (1806-3550S) is used
to drill both cortices prior to inserting
the 4mm Fully Threaded Locking
Screws in the distal holes.

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

4.13. End Cap Insertion

Fig. 37

After removal of the Target Device, an


End Cap may be used. Four different
sizes of End Caps are available to
adjust nail length and to reduce the
potential for bony ingrowth into the
proximal threads of the nail (Fig. 36).

The End Cap is inserted with the


Screwdriver Shaft (1806-0227) and
Teardrop Handle (702429) after
intra-operative radiographs show
satisfactory reduction and hardware
implantation (Fig. 37 & 38). Fully seat
the End Cap to minimize the potential
for loosening.

The Endcap will tighten down on the


most proximal Locking Screw and
prevent M/L movement of the nail.

The wound is closed in the usual


manner. Fig. 38

4.15. Apposition/Compression
Locking Mode

In transverse or axially stable


fracture patterns, active apposition/
compression increases fracture
stability, may enhance fracture
healing and allow for early weight
bearing. The S2 Tibial Compression
Nail provides the option to treat a
tibial fracture with active mechanical
apposition/compression prior to
leaving the operating room.

10mm
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.

In order to insert the Partially


Threaded Locking Screw (Shaft
Screw), drill both cortices with the
4.2340mm Drill (1806-4260S).
Correct screw length may be read
from the calibration on the Drill at
the end of the Drill Sleeve. The near
cortex ONLY is overdrilled using the
5230mm Drill (1806-5000S).

After the Partially Threaded Screw


(Shaft Screw) was inserted, the Nail
Holding Screw securing the nail to
the insertion post is removed, leaving
the insertion post in contact with the
nail. This will act as a guide for the
Compression Screw (Fig. 44).

Fig. 44

21
Operative Technique

The Compression Screw is inserted


with the Screwdriver Shaft Long
assembled with the Teardrop Handle
(702429) through the insertion post
(Fig. 45).

As the Compression Screw is advanced


against the 5.0mm Partially Threaded
Screw (Shaft Screw), it draws the
distal fracture segment towards
the fracture site, employing active
apposition/compression (Fig. 46).
Image intensification will enable the
surgeon to visualise active apposition/
compression. Some bending of the
Partially Threaded Locking Screw may
be seen.

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.

4.16. Nail Removal

Nail removal is an elective procedure.


If needed, the End Cap or Compression
Screw are removed with the
Screwdriver Shaft and Teardrop
Handle (Fig. 47).

Note:
DO NOT remove the more distal
proximal Locking Screw prior to
attaching the Universal Rod (1806-
0110) to the proximal end of the
nail. Doing so may result in the
nail moving posteriorly, making it
difficult to attach the Universal Rod
to the nail.

The Universal Rod is inserted into


Fig. 47
the driving end of the nail. All
Locking Screws are removed with
the Screwdriver Shaft and Teardrop
Handle (Fig. 48).

Note:
The Screwdriver Shaft may be used
in conjunction with the optional
Screw Capture Sleeve, Long (1806-
0240).

The Slotted Hammer or optional


Sliding Hammer is used to extract the
nail in a controlled manner(Fig. 49).

Close the wound in the usual manner.

O. R. efficiency, presented in fully
sterilizable cases.

Large clearance rate resulting from reduced number


of reamer blades coupled with reduced length of
reamer head to give effective relief of pressure and
efcient removal of material.

Cutting flute geometry optimized to lower pressure


generation.

Forward- and side-cutting face combination produces


efficient material removal and rapid clearance.

Double-wound shaft transmits torque effectively and


with high reliability. Low-friction surface finish aids
rapid debris clearance.

Smaller, 6 and 8mm shaft diameters signicantly


reduce IM pressure.
