Note:
Based on the fact that the Distal
Guided Locking technique with
the Distal Targeting Device is the
same for Femoral or Tibial Nails,
the following Operative Technique
does not describe the surgical steps
separately for Femoral or Tibial
Nails. The S2 Femoral Nail A/R
in antegrade mode was chosen to
describe the technique.
Note:
Prior to drilling the Pilot Hole, one
fluoroscopic image must be obtained
to confirm the appropriate alignment
of Target Device and Nail.
Note:
The distance between the 2 M/L
Distal Locking Holes is the same for
all S2 Nails.

Calibration Unit connected
to the Nail Adapter and Targeting
Arm, provides adjustments of
length and A/P angle for the Distal
Transition Plate Targeting Device (Fig. 3a).

sembled (for sterilization) in five
parts:
Calibrator (1812-5021)
Rotation Cage (1812-5030)
Transition Plate (1812-5040)
Excentric Axle (1812-5052)

bled with the convexity of the Herzog
Bend posterior and the Nail Adapter
on the medial side of the tibia.
Note:
The Nail Adapter can be placed on
the calibration box in 2 positions. Fig. 7b
The correct position for calibration
is with the nail mounted with the
Anterior Side Up.

Note:
The Excentric Axle can only be
inserted from the left side of the
Calibrator.
Note:
Fig. 12a The Calibration Unit must always be
attached to the Nail Adapter with the
inscription "ANTERIOR" on top.
For easier manipulation, it is recom-
mended to have the Excentric Lever
opposite to the Targeting Arm.

Note:
Before starting any adjustments,
make sure that the Excentric Lever is
firmly tightened on the Nail Adapter
and that the Tightening Screw and
Excentric Axle are unlocked so that
free movements of the Targeting Arm
(Fig. 13a) and Target Clip (Fig. 13b)
can be obtained. Fig. 13b
Note:
Two identical Calibration Pins are
available:
one is inserted in the Distal Clip as
shown in Fig. 14a & b.
the other one is inserted in the
Excentric Axle and used as a lever to
tighten it (Fig. 15).

With one hand holding the Distal
Clip with Calibration Pin inside,
adjust the Distal Targeting Device in
length and A/P angle (Fig. 14a) until
the Calibration Pin passes through the
most proximal distal locking hole of
the S2 Nail (Fig. 14b).
Note:
It is important to hold the Target Clip
with one hand during the calibration
so that gravitational forces cannot
influence the position of the calibra- Fig. 14b

Operative Technique
Note:
A chamfer is located on the driving
end of the nail in order to denote the
end under X-Ray. Three circumferential
grooves are located on the insertion
post, at 2mm, 10mm and 15mm from
the driving end of the nail. Depth of
insertion may be visualized with the
aid of fluoroscopy.
For the S2 Femoral Nails A/R (Fig. S2 Femoral Nail A/R Fig. 20
20), this position is reached when the
third groove on the insertion post is
aligned with the entry point.
Note:
Distal Guided Locking must always
be performed prior to Proximal
Locking. This is because the Distal
Guided Locking Technique requires
free movement of the nail in the med- Driving end Final Insertion Depth
ullary canal.

Operative Technique
Note:
The Distal Targeting Device
should be placed as close as
Excentric Lever possible to the skin.
Note:
Prior to drilling the Pilot Hole, it is
important to verify position of the
Nail Adapter and Target Clip:
Note:
X-Ray Marker On the M-L fluoroscopic image, the
distal locking holes of the nail must
be perfecty round.
Note:
If nail shadow is above the upper X-
Ray Marker or below the lower X-Ray
Marker, verify if the uoroscopic
image was taken in a true M-L view
(round distal locking holes). If this
Fig. 23c is conrmed, do not use the Distal
Targeting Device for guided locking.

Make a small skin incision and
push the assembly until the Tissue
Protection Sleeve is in contact with
the lateral cortex for the Femur or
the medial cortex for the Tibia. The Fig. 24
Trocar is removed, while the Tissue
Protection Sleeve and the Drill Sleeve
remain in position (Fig. 25).
Note:
Make sure the incision is done exact-
ly in front of the Sleeve assembly
in order to avoid any displacement
of the assembly during insertion
through the soft tissue.
Note:
During all operations like drilling
through the Distal Targeting Clip,
make sure you keep the Targeting
Arm parallel with the femur. Avoid
applying any antero-posterior forces
on the Targeting Arm as this may
lead to deflection of the Arm rela-

negative influence on the S2 Nail

Note:
If the hole was not well cleaned
through the Tissue Protection Sleeve,
repeat the cleaning procedure after
removing the Distal Targeting Device.
Note:
A flat surface along the Probe shaft
is designed parallel with the flat tip
of the Probe to indicate the position
of the flat tip inside the groove of the
S2 Nail.

Operative Technique
Note:
For the Tibial Nailing procedure,
the Nail Adapter is always placed on
the medial side of the leg. Therefore,
to facilitate detection of the groove,
slightly turn the Nail Adapter inter-
nally if the Nail sits more anterior in
the medullary canal or, externally if
the Nail sits posterior in the medul-
lary canal.
Note:
If you cannot detect the groove eas-
ily, it might be possible that there
are still some bone debris in front of

the groove. Therefore, clean the Pilot
Hole again with the Hand Reamer and While the assistant is pulling out the nail, keep gentle pressure on the Probe
Curette until you can feel the nail. so that the tip of the Probe is sliding inside the groove of the nail and therefore
guided into the most distal locking hole (Fig. 31a & 31b).
After finding the groove, an assis-
tant shall attach the Universal Rod Note:

and use the Slotted Hammer (1806- assistant shall attach the Strike Plate (1806-0150) to the Nail Adapter and use
0170) to gently retract the nail by the Slotted Hammer to insert the nail to its final position. In this case, the
approximately 10mm. Probe will slide into the more proximal distal hole of the nail (Fig. 31c).
17
Operative Technique
Note:
With one hand holding the Probe
and the other one the Nail Adapter,
verify that the Probe is in the lock-
ing hole by trying to turn up and
down the Nail Adapter. If the
Probe is in the locking
hole the S2 Nail will
turn only a few degrees.
Note:
Fig. 32a Another way to verify if the Probe
is positioned into the locking hole is
by inserting a Guide Wire through
the Nail. Penetration of the Guide
Wire will be stopped by the Probe if
this is located in the locking hole.
Note:
Confirm that the Fixation Sleeve has
passed through the locking hole by
trying to turn up and down the Nail
Adapter. If the Fixation Sleeve is in
the locking hole, the Nail Adapter
cannot be turned. Again, another
Fig. 32b
way to verify if the Fixation Sleeve is
positioned into the locking hole is by
inserting a Guide Wire through the
Nail.
Note:
If the tip of Fixation Sleeve has
passed through the oposite side of
the nail, the Fixation Sleeve should
be parallel with the Nail Adapter
(Fig. 32b).
18
Operative Technique
Note:
The Fixation Sleeve must be inserted
into the most distal hole of the Target
Clip. In order to easily attach the
Target Clip over the Fixation Sleeve,
pull out the Fixation Screw located at
the tip of the Target Clip (Fig. 33a).
This will open the most distal hole of
the Target Clip.
Fixation Screw pulled out

Push and tighten the Fixation Screw
to firmly lock the Target Clip on the

Operative Technique
Note:
To verify if the Drill has passed
through the locking hole , insert a
Guide Wire through the Nail Holding
Screw until resistance is felt. Mark
insertion depth at the level of Nail
Holding Screw Head.
Remove the Guide Wire and verify
if the insertion depth matches the
distance between Nail Holding Screw
and Drill Sleeve.
Note:
The position of the end of the Drill
as it relates to the far cortex is equal
to where the end of the screw will be.
Therefore, if the end of the Drill is
Fig. 37 3mm beyond the far cortex, the end
of the screw will also be 3mm beyond.
Note:
The Screw Gauge, Long is calibra-
ted 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. 37).
Note:
Leave the Screwdriver Shaft inside
the Tissue Protection Sleeve and
remove the Teardrop Handle. Make
sure the Screwdriver tip is engaged
into the screw head and the Tissue
Protection Sleeve is pushed over the
Screw head, against the cortex. This
will help ensure the stability of the
Fig. 38b system (Fig. 38b).

Operative Technique
Note:
The first cortex of the dilstal hole
was used before as a Pilot Hole. The
cortex was opened with the 5.0mm
Drill. Therefore, in an osteoporotic Fig. 41
bone, the screw head might penetra-
te the cortex if excessive forces are
applied during insertion.
