Operative Technique
Note:
With the image intensifier, verify
iftheK-Wireisplacedalongthe
calcarregionintheA/Pview
and central on the lateral view
(correct anteversion) (Fig. 24).
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
Plate to carefully and smoothly extract
the assembly (Fig. 25).
The new position is checked again
with the image intensifier as described
above.
