10 Opening the Distal Femur 1 Position patient Position the patient supine on a radiolucent table. The knee of the injured leg should be flexed A leg roll may be used to allow for proper reduction and stabilization of the fracture. Ensure that x-ray visualization of the entire femur is possible in both the AP and lateral views. 2 Reduce fracture Intra-articular fractures should be stabilized with interfragmentary screw fixation prior to insertion of the nail. The screws should be positioned so as not to interfere with the path of the nail. Optional instrument * Large Distractor A large distractor may also be used. *Also available Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 9

11 Opening the Distal Femur 3 Confirm nail length Instrument Radiographic Ruler Position the image intensifier for an AP view of the distal femur. With a long forceps, hold the radiographic ruler along the lateral aspect of the leg, parallel to and at the same level as the femur. Adjust the ruler until the distal end is at the desired nail insertion depth. Mark the skin at that site. Move the image intensifier to the proximal femur, replace the distal end of the ruler at the skin mark, and take an AP image of the proximal femur. Verify fracture reduction. Read nail length directly from the ruler image, selecting the measurement that places the proximal end of the nail at the level of the lesser trochanter. Note: All fractures should be treated with the longest nail possible, taking into account patient anatomy or previous implant. 10 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

12 Opening the Distal Femur 4 Identify nail entry point Instruments mm Calibrated Guide Wire mm Protection Sleeve mm/3.2 mm Trocar Make a medial parapatellar incision. Retract the patellar tendon laterally. The entry point for the nail is in the intercondylar notch, just anterior and lateral to the femoral attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament. The location of the entry point in relation to the intercondylar notch varies with patient anatomy. Thread the 13.0 mm/3.2 mm trocar into the 13.0 mm protection sleeve. Insert the assembly through the incision to the bone. Hold the protection sleeve firmly and pass the 3.2 mm calibrated guide wire through the trocar. Insert the guide wire using a power drill. The guide wire should be inserted in line with the anatomic axis of the femur which is 7 9 lateral to a line perpendicular to the articular surface. AP view Lateral view Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 11

13 Opening the Distal Femur 5 Open canal Instrument mm Cannulated Drill Bit Place the 13.0 mm cannulated drill bit into a cannulated drill. Pass the drill bit over the guide wire and through the protection sleeve. Advance the drill bit to the bone and drill to a depth of 50 mm. Optional instrument Large Reverse Awl The surgeon may also use the large reverse awl to open the canal. 12 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

14 Opening the Distal Femur Optional technique: reaming Instruments Medullary Tube Note: Single Sterilization only. Do not use with 3.0 mm Reaming Rod with offset ball tip (351.71) * 3.0 mm Guide Rod, with smooth tip Under image intensification, reduce the fracture and insert the appropriate reaming rod into the canal to the desired nail insertion depth. Ream in 0.5 mm increments and advance the reamer with steady, moderate pressure. Note: Do not force the reamer. Partially retract the reamer often to clear debris from the medullary canal. Ream to a diameter 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm greater than nail diameter. After reaming, remove the reaming assembly. Pass the medullary tube down the reamed canal over the reaming rod. Remove the reaming rod and insert a 3.0 mm guide rod, with smooth tip, through the medullary tube. Remove the medullary tube leaving the guide rod in position for insertion of the cannulated nail. *Also available Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 13

15 Inserting the Nail 1 Assemble insertion instruments Instruments Spanner Wrench Connecting Screw Insertion Handle Hammer Guide Slide Hammer Orient the insertion handle laterally and match the flats on the handle and nail. The anterior bow of the implant must be aligned with the anterior bow of the femur. Place the connecting screw into the insertion handle and thread it into the distal end of the nail. Tighten the connecting screw with the spanner wrench. Note: Do not overtighten. Slide the hammer guide through the slide hammer and attach the hammer guide to the connecting screw. Finger-tighten the assembly. Alternative technique Instrument Hammer, 700 grams A hammer may also be used to insert the nail. The distal end of the connecting screw is the direct striking surface for the hammer. 14 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

16 Inserting the Nail 2 Insert nail Insert the nail as far as possible by hand using a twisting motion. When using a guide wire, pass the cannulated nail (10 mm 13 mm nails) over the guide wire and into the femoral opening. Monitor nail passage across the fracture under image intensification. The insertion assembly may be used to manipulate the nail across the fracture. Use light blows of the slide hammer on the connecting screw until the distal end of the nail is inserted 5 mm 10 mm beyond the articular cartilage. Insertion depth is indicated by the grooves on the barrel of the insertion handle. Notes: Do not attach the aiming arm to the insertion handle until the nail is fully inserted. The aiming arm may loosen during nail insertion. After nail insertion, check that the connecting screw is still tight as it could have loosened during hammering. Do not attach the aiming arm for standard locking or spiral blade locking, respectively, to the insertion handle until the nail is fully inserted. Otherwise, the aiming arm may loosen during nail insertion. 10 mm 5 mm Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 15

17 Locking Distally 1 Assemble instruments Instruments Aiming Arm, for 6.0 mm Titanium Locking Screws mm/ 5.0 mm Drill Sleeve mm Trocar mm/ 8.0 mm Protection Sleeve Distal locking is performed using the 6.0 mm titanium locking screws. Attach the aiming arm to the insertion handle. Insert the triple trocar assembly (11.0 mm/8.0 mm protection sleeve, 8.0 mm/5.0 mm drill sleeve and 5.0 mm trocar) into the aiming arm and through a stab incision to the bone. Remove the trocar. 16 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

18 Locking Distally 2 Drill Instrument mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit Drill through both cortices using the 5.0 mm three-fluted drill bit, stopping the drill immediately after penetrating the far cortex. Confirm drill bit position radiographically. Ensure the drill sleeve is pressed firmly to the cortex and read locking screw length directly from the drill bit at the back of the drill sleeve. The drill bit provides a direct measurement. Note: Since drill bit position directly represents locking screw position in bone, the locking screw will be too long if the drill bit is overinserted, or if the drill sleeve is not pressed down to the cortex. Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 17

19 Locking Distally 2. Drill continued Alternative technique Instruments mm/ 5.0 mm Drill Sleeve Locking Bolt Measuring Device mm/ 8.0 mm Protection Sleeve The locking bolt measuring device may be used through the 11.0 mm/8.0 mm protection sleeve to determine locking screw length. Remove the 8.0 mm/5.0 mm drill sleeve and pass the measuring hook through the 11.0 mm/8.0 mm protection sleeve. Read locking screw length directly from the measuring device at the back of the protection sleeve. 18 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

20 Locking Distally 3 Insert locking screws Instrument Hexagonal Screwdriver Insert the locking screw through the protection sleeve using the hexagonal screwdriver. Repeat the procedure for a second distal locking screw. Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 19

21 Locking Proximally 1 Reconfirm reduction Instrument * Radiolucent Drive Confirm reduction/ alignment of the fracture. 2 Align image Align the image intensifier with the hole in the nail closest to the fracture until a perfect circle is visible in the center of the screen. 3 Determine incision point Place a scalpel blade on the skin to determine the incision point and make a stab incision. Oblique (incorrect) Round (correct) 4 Center drill bit in locking hole Instrument * 4.0 mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit Under image intensification, insert the tip of the 4.0 mm drill bit for the radiolucent drive through the incision and place it onto the bone. Keep the drill bit oblique to the x-ray beam until the tip is centered in the locking hole. *Also available 20 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

22 Locking Proximally 5 Drill Tilt the drive until the drill bit is in line with the beam and appears centered in the outer ring. The drill bit will nearly fill the locking hole image. Hold the drill firmly in this position and drill through both cortices. 6 Measure Instrument Locking Bolt Measuring Device Measure for locking bolt or locking screw length using the locking bolt measuring device. Locking bolt or locking screw length is read directly from the device. 7 Insert locking bolt or locking screw Instrument Hexagonal Screwdriver Insert the appropriate length 4.9 mm titanium locking bolt or 5.0 mm titanium locking screw, using the hexagonal screwdriver. Alternative technique Instrument mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit Use the 4.0 mm three-fluted drill bit to perform freehand proximal locking. Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 21

23 Inserting the End Cap Insert end cap Instrument Hexagonal Screwdriver The end cap locks the most distal 6.0 mm titanium locking screw in place, thereby creating a fixed angle construct. Remove the insertion instrumentation. Using the hexagonal screwdriver, align the end cap with the nail axis to prevent cross-threading. Thread the end cap into the nail until it engages the locking screw. Note: To minimize the chance of cross-threading, turn the end cap counterclockwise until the threads of the end cap align with the threads of the nail. Insert the end cap by turning clockwise until it is fully seated. 22 DePuy Synthes Titanium Distal Femoral Nail System Surgical Technique

24 Implant Removal 1 Remove locking implants and end cap Instrument Hexagonal Screwdriver Clear tissue ingrowth from the hex of the end cap and locking implants and remove using the hexagonal screwdriver. 2 Remove nail Instruments Connecting Screw Hammer Guide Slide Hammer Thread the connecting screw into the distal end of the nail. Slide the hammer guide through the slide hammer and attach it to the connecting screw. Finger-tighten the assembly. Remove the final locking screw and remove the nail. Note: Before removing the last locking screw, thread the connecting screw into the distal end of the nail. This will prevent the nail from rotating in the medullary canal.
