Preoperative planning A preoperative x-ray of the injury extremity should be available. The length of the implant can be determined with a ruler applied to the x-ray. The I.T.S. supracondylar nail can be used on the left or right side of the body, has a diameter of Ø 11 mm and is available in lengths of 200, 240 and 280 mm. Patient‘s position The patient lies supine with the injured extremity bent at approx. 45° on an operating table suitable for x-ray exposures. With a dislocated, com-minuted fracture or with an obese patient, it has proved to be advantageous to apply a tibial plateau extension...

Distal interlocking On the distal end of the nail there are five holes for Ø 6.5 mm cortical screws. To apply the first screw, push the protective cover system through the chosen hole in the aiming device. Push the drill bit for the Ø 5.3 mm drill through the protective cover and drill through to the contracortex. You can immediately read the correct length of screw on the calibrated drill. Remove the drill cover and apply the self-cutting Ø 6.5 mm cortical screw through the protective cover with the SW 5.0 mm hexagonal screw driver. Follow this procedure for all the remaining screws. Before...
