Introduction
Over the past decades antegrade
and retrograde femoral nailing have
become widely accepted choices for
the treatment of femoral fractures.
The T2 Recon nail is one of the first
femoral nailing systems to offer a
greater trochanter entry point with
both recon and antegrade locking
options.
Through the development of a
common, streamlined instrument
system and intuitive surgical approach,
both in principle and in detail, the T2
Recon Nail offers the potential for
more efficient treatment of fractures
as well as simplifying the training
requirements for all person nel
involved.
Furthermore, the T2 Recon Nail offers
the following competitive advantages:
• Versatility-offerstheabilityto
switch from antegrade to a recon
option without changing either
the nail or targeting arm.
• ReconSetScrew-thisoptional
screw sets the most proximal
Lag Screw thus minimizing
the potential for screw sliding
(Z-effect).
• LockingOptions-distaloptions
include dynamic as well as static.
• DistalTargeting-eliminatesthe
need for freehand locking of either
the static or dynamic modes.
RequiresoptionalGamma3/T2
ReconDTSR2.0
The T2 Recon Nail is the realization
of excellent biomechanical intramedullary stabilization for internal
femoral fixation with several locking
options to address fracture variability.
As with all other T2 Nails, the T2
Recon Nail is made of Type II
anodized Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V)
for enhanced biomechanical and
biomedical performance*.
The T2 Recon Nail features a 125°
CCDanglewitha10°anteversion
angle. The 2 proximal holes, each
utilize 6.5mm cannulated Lag
Screws. This CCDangle allows easy
insertion of the 2 lag screws into the
femoral head.
Alternatively a proximal 70° Oblique
hole with 7° retroversion provides
a 5mm Fully Threaded Screw for
targeting the lesser trochanter in the
Femoral Antegrade mode.
The 6.5 mm Cannulated Lag Screws
have a unique thread design that
provide an excellent grip. Improved
front cutting flutes allow for lesser
insertion torque and thinner flanks for
less bone removal.
Secure placement of the Lag Screws
within small neck diameters can be
achieved due to 10mm separating the
two 6.5mm lag screws or 17mm outer
distance between the 6.5mm Lag screws.
Two Set Screws are available:
- Recon Set Screw: Tightens the
6.5mm proximal Lag Screw (Recon
Mode) and
- Antegrade Set Screw: Tightens the
oblique 5mm Fully Threaded Screw
(Femoral Antegrade Mode).
Available as left and right versions,
the T2 Recon Nail incorporates an
antecurvature radius of 2.0M, as
well as a 4° medial lateral bend for
trochanteric insertion.
The distal locking configuration
features a round and an oblong hole to
allow for staticand/ordynamic
distal locking.
Low profile 5mm cortical screws,
common to the T2 Nailing System,
are designed to simplif y the surgical
procedure and promote a minimally
invasive approach.
5mm Fully Threaded Locking Screws
are available for distal locking (Recon
or Femoral Antegrade Mode) and
for the proximal locking in Femoral
Antegrade Mode.
End Caps are available in various
lengths to provide a better fit.
See the detailed chart on the next page
for the design specifications and size
offerings.

Introduction
Instrument Features
A major advantage of the T2
instrument platform is the integration
of core instruments that can be
used not only for the complete T2
Nailing System, but for future Stryker
Osteosynthesis nailing systems,
thereby, reducing complexity and
inventory.
The T2 instrument platform offers
precision and usability, as well as
ergonomically styled targeting devices.
Except for the addition of a small
number of dedicated instruments, the
T2 Femur instrument platform is used
for the T2 Recon Nail.
The T2 Recon targeting device is
designed to provide two proximal locking
options: Recon or Antegrade Femoral
Modes.
Reconmode: Provides two (2)
proximal holes targeting the femoral
neck and head:
• B Targets the Proximal Recon
6.5 mm Lag Screw
• A Targets the Distal Recon
6.5 mm Lag Screw
Antegrade Femoral Mode : Provides a
single 5mm Oblique Screw targeting
the lesser trochanter. LEFT is used for
a left nail and RIGHT for a right nail.
With the exception of the carbon
fi ber targeting device, dedicated
instruments for the recon mode are
color coded with “bronze”.
This makes it easy to differentiate
them from the core T2 instrument
platform.

Indications, Precautions & Contraindications
Indications
The T2 Recon Nail is indicated for:
• Subtrochanteric fractures
• Intertrochanteric fractures
• Ipsilateral neck/shaft fractures
• Comminuted proximal femoral
shaft fractures
• Femoral fi xation required as a
result of pathological disease
• Temporary stabilization of
fractures of the femoral shaft ranging from the femoral neck to
the supracondylar regions of the
femur.
Precautions
Contraindications
The physician’s education, training
and professional judgement must
be relied upon to choose the most
appropriate device and treatment.
Conditions presenting an increased
risk of failure include:
• Any active or suspected latent
infection or marked local
infl ammation in or about the
affected area.
• Compromised vascularity that
would inhibit adequate blood
supply to the fracture or the
operative site.
• Bone stock compromised by
disease, infection or prior
implantation that can not provide
adequate support and/or fi xation
of the devices.
• Material sensitivity, documented
or suspected.
• Obesity. An overweight or obese
patient can produce loads on the
implant that can lead to failure
of the fi xation of the device or to
failure of the device itself.
Stryker Osteosynthesis systems have
not been evaluated for safety and use
in MR environment and have not been
tested for heating or migration in the
MR environment, unless specified
otherwise in the product labeling or
respective operative technique.
Antegrade Mode
Recon Mode
• Patients having inadequate tissue
coverage over the operative site.
• Implant utilization that would
interfere with anatomical
structures or physiological
performance.
• Any mental or neuromuscular
disorder which would create an
unacceptable risk of fi xation
failure or complications in
postoperative care.
• Other medical or surgical
conditions which would preclude
the potential benefi t of surgery.
8
An X-Ray Recon Template (1806-3080)
is available for pre-operative planning.
Thorough evaluation of pre-operative
radiographs of the affected extremity
is critical. Careful radiographic
examination of the trochanteric
region and neck regions can reduce
the potential of intra-operative
complications.
Note:
TheX-RayReconTemplate
features a scale of 1.15:1 which
is adapted to conventional
analoguousX-Rays.Fordigital
X-Rays,attentionhastobe
paid that the magnification is
corresponding with the template.
According to the fracture type either
Recon or Antegrade Femoral Mode
can be chosen.
Evaluation of the femoral neck
angle on the pre-operative X-Rays is
mandatory as the T2 Recon Nail has a
fixed 125° neck angle for the two Lag
Screws. Proper placement of both Lag
Screws in the femoral head is essential.
If possible, X-Rays of the contralateral
side should be used to determine the
normal neck angle and length of the
femur.
The proper nail length should extend
from the tip of the greater trochanter
to the epiphyseal scar.
Note:
Check with your local
representative regarding
availability of nail sizes.

Locking Options
The T2 Recon Nail can be locked
proximally with two 6.5mm Lag
Screws (Recon Mode, Fig. 1) or with
one 5mm Fully Threaded Screw
(Antegrade Femoral Mode, Fig. 2).
For both Recon and Antegrade
Femoral applications, depending
on fracture pattern, either static or
dynamic distal locking can be used.

Patient positioning for T2 Recon
Nail insertion is surgeon dependent.
However, it is recommended that
patients are positioned in either the
supine or lateral position on a fracture
table to allow closed reduction of the
frac ture (Fig. 3).
Manipulate and reduce the fracture
in the usual fashion, according to the
fracture type. Reduction should be
achieved as anatomically as possible.
If this is not possible, reduction in
one plane should be complete, leaving
reduction in the other plane to be
achieved prior to reaming and nail
insertion.
The unaffected leg is abducted as far
as possible to ease image intensifi er
positioning. This will also allow easier
access to entry point.
Patient Positioning and Fracture Reduction
Incision
The design of the T2 Recon Nail, with
a 4° medial lateral bend, will only
allow for insertion through the tip of
the greater trochanter.
With experience, the tip of the greater
trochanter can be identifi ed by
palpation (Fig. 4).
A longitudinal skin incision of
approximately 3−5cm is made starting
just above the greater trochanter to the
iliac crest (Fig. 5). The incision is then
deepened to expose the tip of greater
trochanter.
Smaller or larger incisions may be
used based on individual patients
anatomy and at the surgeon’s
discretion.
Note:
The targeting instruments of the
T2ReconNailhavebeendesigned
to allow for a more percutaneous
approach.
11
The entry point is located at the
junction of the anterior third and
posterior two-thirds of the greater
trochanter on the medial edge of the tip
itself (Fig. 6).
Note:
Before opening the tip of greater
trochanter, image intensifi er
views(A/PandM/L)should
be used to confi rm correct
identifi cation of the entry point.
The medullary canal can be opened
with the
• CurvedAwl/CurvedAwl,90°
Handle or
• OneStepConicalReamer.
Note:
Densecorticalbonemayblock
the tip of the Awl during opening
of the entry portal. Inserting
fi rst the optional Awl Plug into
the Awl will avoid penetration of
bone debris into the cannulated
Awl shaft. The Awl Plug is
thenremovedforGuideWire
insertion.
• Entry point with Curved Awl
Once the tip of the greater trochanter
has been opened (Fig. 7a), the
Ø3 × 1000mm Ball Tip Guide Wire
may be advanced through the
cannulation of the Curved Awl with
the Guide Wire Handle and Chuck
(Fig. 7 b).
The proximal femur may then be
prepared with the One Step Conical
Reamer.

diameter Reamer for the 13 and 15mm
nails may be used for opening the
medullary canal and reaming of the
trochanteric region.
Under image intensifi cation control,
the entry point is made with a
Ø3.2 × 400mm Recon K-Wire which
is attached to the Guide Wire Handle
and advanced into the medullary
canal. Confi rm its placement within
the center of the medullary canal

again for the Lag Screw insertion.
It is recommended that a new
K-Wirebeutilized.
The Recon Protection Sleeve and
Multi-hole Trocar are positioned with
the central hole over the K-Wire.
Note:
The Multi-hole Trocar has a
special design for more precise
insertionoftheØ3.2mmRecon
K-Wire(Fig.8).Besidethecentral
hole, 4 other holes are located
eccentrically at different distances
from the center (Fig. 8a) to easily

When correct placement of the guiding
Recon K-Wire is confi rmed on image
intensifi er views (A/P and lateral),
keep the Tissue Protection Sleeve
in place and remove the Multi-hole
Trocar.
The T-Handle is attached to the
One Step Conical Reamer and hand
reaming is performed over the Recon
K-Wire through the Tissue Protection
Sleeve (Fig. 9).
The Recon K-Wire is then removed
and replaced with the Ø3 × 1000mm
Ball Tip Guide Wire.

fracture reduction tool to facilitate
Guide Wire insertion through the
fracture site (Fig. 10).
Note:
The Ball Tip at the end of the

Caution:
Prior to reaming, it is important
to check the centered
intramedullary position of the
GuideWirewiththeimagein-
ten sifi er. Lateral displacement
oftheGuideWirecouldleadto
resection of more bone on the
lateral side of the wire, which in
turn will lead to an offset position
of the nail and increase the risk of
a shaft fracture.
Note:
Make sure that the reduction
is maintained throughout the
reaming process.
Reaming is commenced in 0.5mm
in crements until cortical contact
occurs (Fig. 12).
For easier nail insertion, the
medullary canal should be reamed at
least 2mm more than the diameter of
selected nail (Fig. 13).

Reaming of the trochanteric region is
needed (Fig. 13) as the proximal nail
diameter (driving end) is larger than the
nail diameter (13mm for the 9 and
11mm diameter nails and 15mm for
the 13 and 15mm diameter nails).
For both reamed or unreamed
applications, the proximal 5cm of the
trochanteric region must be opened to at
least 13mm or 15mm, depending on the
proximal diameter of the nail.
15
Fig. 17a
Fig. 16a
Diameter
The diameter of the selected nail
should be at least 2.0mm smaller than
that of the last reamer used.
Length
Nail length may be determined by
measuring the remaining length of the
Guide Wire. The Guide Wire Ruler
may be used by placing it on the Guide
Wire and reading the correct nail
length at the end of the Guide Wire on
the Guide Wire Ruler (Fig. 16a, b).
Upon completion of reaming, the
appropriate size nail is ready for
insertion. A unique design feature
of the T2 Recon Nail is that the
Ø3 × 1000mm Ball Tip Guide Wire
does not need to be exchanged.
The selected nail is assembled onto the
Targeting Arm with the Nail Holding
Screw (Fig. 17a). Be sure to securely
tighten the Nail Holding Screw with
the Screwdriver Shaft, Ball Tip and
T-Handle so that it does not loosen
during nail insertion.
Caution:
Prior to the nail insertion,
check the correct assembly
by passing the Stepdrill for

If dense bone is encountered, fi rst
re-evaluate that suffi cient reaming
has been achieved, then, if necessary,
the Strike Plate can be attached to
the Targeting Arm and the Slotted
Hammer may be used to further insert
the nail (Fig. 19).
Caution:
The nail must progress smoothly,
without excessive force. If too
much resistance is encountered,
removal of the nail and additional
reaming is recommended.
Note:

drillingorK-Wireinsertion.
The carbon fi ber guide should never
be struck as it may break or become
deformed. The impactor that is
provided can be utilized to assist with
fi nal seating of the nail. Gentle tapping
will produce small adjustments (in
the nail position) that can help to
optimize the ultimate position of the
lag screw in the femoral head. The nail
holding screw should be re-tightened
following any use of the impactor.
The impactor should not be utilized
to force the nail down the canal. If
the nail cannot be seated manually
or if there is no advancement each
time the impactor is tapped, A/P and
Lateral fl uoroscopic X-Rays should
be reviewed to determine the cause
of the impingement - there may be a
mismatch between the nail geometry
and the medullary canal. The starting
position, the femoral bow and the
canal diameter should all be examined
to ensure that the leading end of the
nail is not impinging on the medial
or anterior cortex and that the canal
itself has been suffi ciently reamed.
Nail Insertion
Final Seating with Impactor
Periodically, nail removal and further
reaming of the diaphysis may be
required.
The proximal metaphyseal fl air may
be undersized (particularly in young
patients or those of short stature) and
serve to prevent nail advancement. If
this situation is encountered, a fl exible
reamer may be used to further widen
this area to the level of the lesser
trochanter.
To facilitate manual passage, the
nail internally rotated 90° until the
fracture has been passed.

Nail / La g S crews Posit ioning
Drive the T2 Recon Nail to the depth
that correctly aligns the proxi mal
screw holes parallel with the femoral
head and neck under fluoroscopic
control (Fig. 20) .
Two aspects regarding the Nail/Lag
Screws position must be carefully
checked with the image intensifier
before drilling into the femoral head:
- Alignment of the anteversion (M//L
view)
- Depth of nail insertion (A/P view).
The distal Lag Screw should run along
the calcar region (on the A/P view) and
centered into the femoral neck and
head (on the M/L view).

Device labeled (A). Make a small skin
incision and push the assembly
through until it is in contact with the
lateral cortex. Then turn the Knob
clockwise to the position labeled (A)
(Fig. 22).
Remove the Trocar and then insert the

K-Wire into the K-Wire Inserter and
attach it to the T-Handle.
The K-Wire is then man u ally
advanced through the K-Wire Sleeve
until it reaches the subchon dral bone
of the femoral head (Fig. 23).
Alternatively, the K-Wire Inserter can
be attached to a Power Tool and the
Recon K-Wire is inserted to the same

If the K-Wire is incorrectly positioned,
the first step is to remove it and then
to correct the nail position.
More commonly, the nail is posi tioned
too proximal and correction of the
nail should be carried out either by
hand or by using the Strike Plate
placed into the Target Device. If a
higher position is required, the
Universal Rod and Slot ted Hammer
may then be at tached to the Strike

Nail/Lag Screws Positioning
with the One Shot Device
The use of the One Shot device
(1213-3010) is recommended to
predetermine the optimal Lag Screw
placement* (Fig. 26). The One Shot
Device is made of carbon fiber
and works by providing a target to
indicate the position of the K-Wire
on the fluoroscope screen. The
target contains 3 radio-opaque wires
embedded in the arm – a dashed inner
wire and two solid outer wires. These
wires work like a gun sight to indicate
the position of the K-Wire.
The One Shot Device is attached
by slightly pressing the grip and
releasing it when positioned onto the
Tissue Protection Sleeve. To correct
the position or remove the device, the
grip must be pressed.
Note:
TheuseoftheOneShotDevice
should not replace any steps in the
T2ReconOperativeTechnique.
While pressing the attachment grip,
the device is positioned between the
anterior aspect of the patient’s hip and
the fluoroscope screen positioned for
an A/P view of the hip (Fig. 26, 27).
Note:
It is important to drape the patient
so that the OneShotDevicedoes
not interfere with any drapes
anterior to the patient’s hip.
When positioned correctly, the target
will appear in the f luoroscopic image
(A/P view) with the dashed inner wire
in the middle of the two solid outer
wires (Fig. 27). If it does not, the One
Shot Device should be moved towards
or away from the patient by pressing
the grip slightly until the target is seen
as described above.

may be corrected by ei ther pulling
backwards or pushing forwards
(Fig. 28).
The K-Wire can then be placed into
the femur and the targeting arm
is held in place until the K-Wire’s
position in the lateral view has
been determined. When positioned
correctly, the target will appear in the
fluoroscopic lateral view (Fig. 29).
If the dashed wire of the target ap pears between the two solid wires,
then advance the Recon Tissue
Protection Sleeve and Trocar as shown
in Fig. 21.

helps in achieving the correct
positioning of the nail (depth and
rotation) with minimal resection
of bone in case correction of the

Operative Technique
Solid Stepdrill Technique
For the insertion of proximal screws
in Recon Mode, the Solid Stepdrill
Technique, which is mentioned in this
chapter, is the recommended method
to optimize the proximal targeting
accuracy.
Attach the Recon Paddle Trocar to the
T-Handle, AO Medium Coupling as
demonstrated in Fig. 21. Then slide the
Tissue Protection Sleeve together with
the Paddle Trocar assembly to the
skin through the proximal target hole
labeled (B).
A small skin incision is made and the
assembly is pushed through until it
is in contact with the lateral cortex.
When the tip of the sleeve is in contact
with the lateral cortex, lock the sleeve
by turning the knob further to the
position labeled (A+B) (Fig. 30).
Then remove the Trocar assembly
and insert the Drill Sleeve for the
Recon Solid Stepdrill while the distal
K-Wire and K-Wire Sleeve are still
left in place. The Drill Sleeve for
the Recon Solid Stepdrill is inserted
through the proximal target hole
labeled (B) of the Targeting Device.
The Ø6.5mm Solid Stepdrill for Recon
Lag Screw is forwarded through the
Tissue Protection Sleeve and Drill
Sleeve assembly and pushed onto the
lateral cortex. There is a dedicated
Drill Sleeve for the Solid Stepdrill
Technique. This Sleeve is marked “Use
with Solid Step Drill“ as shown
(Fig. 31b).
Reaming is performed under
fluoroscopic control just until the tip
of the Solid Stepdrill for Lag Screw
reaches the subchondral bone. The
required length of the Lag Screw can
be read directly off the Recon Solid
Stepdrill for Lag Screw at the end of
the Drill Sleeve (Fig. 31a).

Operative Technique
Using the Recon Screwdriver the
correct Lag Screw is inserted through
the Tissue Protection Sleeve and
threaded up to the subcondral part
of the femoral head. The screw is
near its proper seating position when
the groove around the shaft of the
screwdriver is approaching the end of
the Tissue Protection Sleeve (Fig. 32,
32a). The required length of the
second Lag Screw can be measured
using the Recon Lag Screw Gauge.
Remove the Distal K-Wire and K-Wire
Sleeve. Then insert the Sleeve for the
solid Stepdrill into the distal Tissue
Protection Sleeve.
Repeat the same surgical steps for
drilling and insertion of the distal Lag
Screw without K-Wire guidance.
After the completion of the distal Lag
Screw insertion, move on to the distal
locking procedure.

Operative Technique
Alternatively, the K-Wire can be used
prior to drilling with the Solid Drill.
Place a second Recon K-Wire into the
K-Wire Inserter and attach it to the
T-Handle or power tool. The K-Wire
is then advanced through the K-Wire
Sleeve until it reaches the subchondral
bone of the femoral head.
Warn ing :
CorrectplacementoftheK-Wire
tip in subchondral bone must be
checked with image intensifier in

The required length of the Lag Screw
is measured using the Recon Lag
Screw Gauge.
Note:
Before starting to measure, ensure
that the Tissue Protection Sleeve
andK-WireSleeveassemblyis
firmly pressed against the lateral
cortex of the femur (Fig. 32b).
Take the Recon Lag Screw Gauge and
place it directly under the K-Wire
and against the K-Wire Sleeve (Fig.
32c). The correct Lag Screw length
corresponds to the measurement
indicated at the end of the K-Wire on
the Lag Screw Gauge.
After the measurement, remove the
K-Wire and drill the channel with the
Solid Stepdrill according to the Solid
Stepdrill technique described on
page 22.

The required length of the Lag Screw
is measured using the Recon Lag
Screw Gauge (1806-3035). Before
start ing to measure, ensure that the
Tissue Protection Sleeve and K-Wire
Sleeve assembly is fi rmly pressed
against the lateral cortex of the femur.
Take the Recon Lag Screw Gauge
and place it directly under the distal
K-Wire and against the K-Wire Sleeve
(Fig. 34).
As the Cannulated Stepdrill technique
was also discussed in a previous
version of the operative technique,
the insertion of the proximal screws
in Recon Mode using this method
will also be mentioned as a potential
option.
After achieving a satisfactory position
of the fi rst Recon K-Wire slide the
second Recon Tissue Protection Sleeve
together with the Recon K-Wire Sleeve
into the proximal target hole on the
Targeting Arm, labeled (B).
A small skin incision is made and the
assembly is pushed through until it
is in contact with the lateral cortex
(Fig. 33).
Place a second Recon K-Wire into the
K-Wire Inserter and attach it to the
T-Handle or power tool. The K-Wire
is then advanced through the K-Wire
Sleeve until it penetrates the
subchondral bone of the
femoral head.
Caution:
CorrectplacementoftheK-Wire
tip in subchondral bone must be
checked with image intensifi er in
bothA/PandM/Lviews.
Cannulated Stepdrill Technique
The correct Lag Screw length
corresponds to the measurement
indicated at the end of the K-Wire on
the Lag Screw Gauge. This length will
then be set on the cannulated Recon
Stepdrill for Lag Screw (Fig. 35).

The distal K-Wire Sleeve is removed
while the Tissue Protection Sleeve
remains in position (Fig. 36a). The
cannulated Ø6.5mm Recon Stepdrill
for Lag Screw (REF 1806-3025)
is forwarded through the Tissue
Protec tion Sleeve and pushed onto
the lateral cortex. The stop on the
drill will only allow drilling up to
5mm before the K-Wire ends (Fig.
36b).
Warn ing :

Using the Recon Screwdriver, the
selected Lag Screw is inserted
through the Tissue Protection Sleeve
and threaded up to the subchondral
bone of the femoral head. The screw
is near its proper seating position
when the groove around the shaft of
the screw driver is approaching the
end of the Tissue Protection Sleeve
(Fig. 37).
Alternatively, the Recon Screwdriver
Shaft may be assembled into the
T-Handle and used for the Lag Screw
insertion.
The required length of the second
Lag Screw is measured using the
Recon Lag Screw Gauge. Repeat the
same surgi cal steps for drilling and
insertion of the proximal Lag Screw
(Fig. 38).
After the completion of the distal
Lag Screw insertion, move on to the
proximal locking procedure.

Now attach the Paddle Trocar,
Antegrade and the AO T-Handle
Medium Coupling (Fig. 39). Then,
advance them together with the Long
Tissue Protection Sleeve through
the targeting hole for the Antegrade
Femoral Mode (left or right) by
pressing the safety clip (Fig. 40). The
mecha nism 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.
A small skin incision is made and the
assembly is pushed through by manipulating the T-Handle until the Tissue
Protection Sleeve is in contact with the
lateral cortex (Fig. 41).

Fig. 4 3
Operative Technique
Pre-drilling opens the lateral cortex
for the drill entry. Pre-drilling helps
to prevent a possible slipping of the
drill on the cortex and may avoid
deflection within the cancellous bone.
The Paddle Trocar Assembly is
then removed and the Drill Sleeve
is inserted through the Long Tissue
Protection Sleeve (Fig. 42). With the
Long Tissue Protection Sleeve firmly
engaged in the cortex, the lateral
cortex should be opened using the
centered tip green coded 4.2mm Drill.
The Drill can be connected with
the AO Teardrop Handle Coupling
allowing pre-drilling by hand (Fig.
43). It also can be done using power.
Note:
For optimal stability, the tip
of the oblique screw should be
positioned at the level of the lesser
trochanter (Fig. 44).
Then use the center-tipped, calibrated
Ø4.2 × 340mm Drill and drill through
both cortices (Fig. 45).
The screw length may be read directly
from the Calibrated Drill at the end of
the Drill Sleeve (Fig. 45a).
Caution:
Start the drill before touching
the bone and then keep a gentle
pressure on the pre-dri lled c ortex
to ensure ac cu rate drilling.
Note:
The position of the drill end, as
it relates to the far cortex, is the
same position where the screw
will end.
30
Operative Technique
Therefore, if the end of the Drill
is 3mm beyond the far cortex, the
end of the screw will also be 3mm
beyond (Fig. 46). Check the position
oftheendoftheDrillwithimage
intensification before measuring
the screw length. If the screw
measurement using the Long Screw
Gauge is preferred, first remove the
Long Drill Sleeve and read the screw
length directly at the end of the Long
Tissue Protection Sleeve.
Note:
• Before starting to measure,
ensure that the Tissue Protection
Sleeve/DrillSleeveAssemblyand
K-WireSleeveassemblyisfirmly
pressed against the lateral cortex
of the femur (Fig. 46, 47).
• TheLongScrewGaugeis
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. 47).
When the Drill Sleeve is removed,
the correct Locking Screw is inserted
through the Tissue Protection Sleeve
using the Long Screwdriver Shaft with
Teardrop Handle (Fig. 48). The screw
is ad vanced through both cortices.
The screw is near its proper seating
posi tion when the groove around the
shaft of the screwdriver is approach ing the end of the Tissue Protection
Sleeve (Fig. 48a).

The freehand technique is used to insert
Fully Threaded Locking Screws into
both distal transverse holes in the nail.
Rotational alignment must be checked
prior to locking the nail. This is
performed by checking a lateral view
at the hip and a lateral view at the
knee. The anteversion should be the
same as on the contralateral side.
Multiple locking techniques and
radiolu cent drill devices are available
for freehand locking. The critical step
with any freehand locking technique,
proximal or distal, is to visualize a
perfectly round locking hole with the
C-Arm.
The center-tipped ø4.2 × 180mm
Drill is held at an oblique angle to the
center of the locking hole (Fig. 49).
Upon X-Ray verification, the Drill is
placed perpendicular to the nail and
drilled through the lateral and medial
cortices (Fig. 50). Confirm in both the
A/P and lateral views by X-Ray that
the Drill passes through the hole in
the nail.
After drilling both cortices, the screw
length may be read directly off of the
Long Screw Scale at the green ring on
the center-tipped ø4.2 × 180mm Drill
(Fig. 51).
Alternatively, the Screw Gauge for
freehand technique can be used insted
of the Long Screw Scale to
determine the screw length.
Routine Locking Screw insertion
is employed with the assembled Long
Screwdriver Shaft and Teardrop Handle.
Note:
The Screwdriver Shaft can be used
in conjunction with the Long
Screw Capture Sleeve.

Repeat the locking procedure for the
insertion of the second 5mm Fully
Threaded Locking Screw into the
oblong hole in a static position
(Fig. 52).
The T2ReconNail may be used in the
dynamic locking mode. When the
fracture pattern permits, dynamic
lock ing may be utilized for transverse,
rotationally stable fractures. While
dynam ic locking can only be
performed at the end of the nail, this
will require a freehand distal targeting
of the oblong hole in a dynamic
position. This al lows the nail to move
and the fracture to settle while
torsional stability is maintained.
Note:
As an alternative for distal
locking, the guided distal
targeting system can be used. For
details, please refer to the separate
operativetechniques(Distal

Operative Technique
After removal of the Target Device,
a Set Screw or End Cap can be used.
Two different Set Srews are available
(Fig. 53a):
- a ReconSetScrewto tighten
down on the Proximal Lag Screw
for the Recon Mode
- an Antegrade Set Screw to
tighten down on the oblique Fully
Threaded Screw for the Femoral
Antegrade Mode
Note:
If a Set Screw is used, an End Cap
can no longer be inserted.
Four different sizes of End Caps are
available to adjust nail length and to
reduce the potential for bony ingrowth
into the proximal thread of the nail
(Fig. 53b) .
The Set Screw or End Cap is inserted
with the Long Screwdriver Shaft and
Teardrop Handle after intra-operative
radio graphs confirm satisfactory
reduction and hardware implantation
(Fig. 54). Be sure to fully seat the End
Cap or Set Screw to minimize the
potential risk for loosening.
Nail Removal
The Set Screw or End Cap is removed
with the Long Screwdriver Shaft and
Tear drop Handle (Fig. 55).
The Universal Rod is inserted into
the driving end of the nail.
Alternatively, the Conical Extraction
Rod, can be attached to the Universal
Rod to facilitate extraction of the
nail. All 5mm Fully Threaded Locking Screws are removed with the
Screwdriver, Selfholding. The optional
Long Screw Capture Sleeve may be
used on the Screwdriver Shaft. For
removal of the Lag Screws, the Recon
Screwdriver or the Recon Screwdriver
Shaft and T-Handle are to be used.
The Slotted Hammer is used to ex tract
the nail in a controlled man ner (Fig. 56).

**Caution:
The coupling of Elastosil handles contains
a mechanism with one or multiple ba ll
bearings. In case of applied a xial stress on
the Elastosil handle, those components
are pressed into t he surrounding cyl inder
resulting in a complete blockage of t he

Complete range of modular and

surgeon preference and optimize
O.R.efficiency,presentedinfully
sterilizable cases.
Studies
1
have demonstrated that
the pressures developed within
the medullary cavity through the
introduction of unreamed IMnails can
be far greater than those devel oped
during reaming − but this depends
very much upon the design of the
reamer.
After a three year development study2
involving several universities, the
factors that determine the pressures
and temperatures developed during
reaming were clearly established.
These factors were applied to the de velopment of advanced reamers that
demonstrate significantly better per form ance than the best of previous
designs3.
