AO Principles

In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation in general,and intramedullary nailing in particular.1

Anatomic reductionThe Titanium Distal Femoral Nail is designed to fit anatomicallyin the medullary canal, allowing indirect reduction.

Stable fixationThe intramedullary nail acts as an internal splint that controlsbut does not prevent micromovements of the fragments. Itprovides relative stability that leads to an indirect healingthrough callus formation.

Preservation of blood supplyThe instruments and implants in the Titanium Distal Femoral Nailsystem permit a percutaneous technique and less tissue strippingthan other treatment methods. An intramedullary approachresults in decreased blood loss compared to plate fixation.

Early, active mobilizationThe Titanium Distal Femoral Nail provides secure fixation which permits controlled, early, active rehabilitation conducive to optimal recovery.

Indications

Synthes 5

The Titanium Distal Femoral Nail is indicated for the stabilizationof fractures of the distal femur and/or diaphyseal fractures in which a retrograde approach is indicated. These include:– supracondylar fractures, including those

with intra-articular extension

– ipsilateral hip /shaft fractures

– ipsilateral femur / tibia fractures

– femoral fractures in the multiply-injured patient

– fractures proximal to a total knee arthroplasty

– fractures distal to a hip implant

– fractures in the morbidly obese patient

– pathologic fractures including those in osteoporotic bone

– malunions

– nonunions

The Titanium Distal Femoral Nail may be used in eitherreamed or nonreamed applications.

Preoperative Planning

Recommended Set

105.954 Small Battery Drive Set, with 14.4 V Battery

Use the AO preoperative planner ruler for the Titanium DistalFemoral Nail to determine nail length and nail diameter.

Note: There are two templates available for use: actual sizeand 115%, with template image magnified 15% to accountfor average radiograph magnification. However, variations inmagnification levels are common.

When selecting nail size, consider canal diameter, fracturepattern, and postoperative protocol.

Opening the Distal Femur

1Position patientPosition the patient supine on a radiolucent table. The kneeof the injured leg should be flexed 30°–40°. A leg roll maybe used to allow for proper reduction and stabilization of thefracture. Ensure that x-ray visualization of the entire femur is possible in both the AP and lateral views.

2Reduce fractureIntra-articular fractures should be stabilized with interfrag-mentary screw fixation prior to insertion of the nail. Thescrews should be positioned so as not to interfere with thepath of the nail.

Optional instrument

394.35* Large Distractor

A large distractor may also be used.

Opening the Distal Femur

3Confirm nail length

Instrument

357.111 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 samelevel as the femur. Adjust the ruler until the distal end is atthe desired nail insertion depth. Mark the skin at that site.

Move the image intensifier to the proximal femur, replacethe 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 themeasurement 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.

Instruments

292.69 3.2 mm Calibrated Guide Wire

357.127 13.0 mm Protection Sleeve

357.128 13.0 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 entrypoint 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 theguide wire using a power drill. The guide wire should be inserted in line with the anatomic axis of the femur which is7°–9° lateral to a line perpendicular to the articular surface.

Note: Do not force the reamer.

Partially retract the reamer often to clear debris from themedullary canal.

Ream to a diameter 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm greater than nail diameter.

After reaming, remove the reaming assembly. Pass themedullary 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 positionfor insertion of the cannulated nail.

2Insert nailInsert 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 thefemoral opening. Monitor nail passage across the fractureunder 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 screwuntil the distal end of the nail is inserted 5 mm–10 mm beyondthe articular cartilage. Insertion depth is indicated by thegrooves on the barrel of the insertion handle.

Note: Do not attach the aiming arm to the insertion handleuntil the nail is fully inserted. The aiming arm may loosenduring nail insertion.

2Drill

Instrument

357.099 5.0 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 drillsleeve is pressed firmly to the cortex and read locking screwlength 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 screwposition in bone, the locking screw will be too long if thedrill bit is overinserted, or if the drill sleeve is not presseddown to the cortex.

Inserting the End Cap

Insert end cap

Instrument

314.75 Hexagonal Screwdriver

The end cap locks the most distal 6.0 mm titanium lockingscrew in place, thereby creating a fixed angle construct.

Remove the insertion instrumentation. Using the hexagonalscrewdriver, align the end cap with the nail axis to preventcross-threading. Thread the end cap into the nail until it engages the locking screw.

Technique tip: To minimize the chance of cross-threading,turn the end cap counterclockwise until the threads of theend cap align with the threads of the nail. Insert the end capby turning clockwise until it is fully seated.
