AO Principles
In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which havebecome the guidelines for internal fixation in general, and intramedullary nailing in particular :2
Anatomic reductionThe Titanium Cannulated Adolescent Lateral Entry ExpertFemoral Nail is designed to fit anatomically in the medullarycanal and allows 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 Adolescent Lateral Entry Femoral Nail Expert System permit a minimally invasive technique and less tissue stripping than other treatmentmethods. An intramedullary approach results in decreasedblood loss compared to plate fixation.
Early, active mobilizationThe Titanium Cannulated Adolescent Lateral Entry ExpertFemoral Nail provides secure fixation which permits controlled, early, active rehabilitation conducive to optimal recovery.

Preoperative Planning
Use the AO preoperative planner templates for the Adoles-cent Lateral Entry Femoral Nail–EX to estimate nail lengthand diameter.
To estimate nail diameter, place the template on the AP orlateral x-ray of the femur and measure the diameter of themedullary canal at the narrowest part that will contain the nail.
To estimate nail length, place the template on the AP x-ray of the uninjured femur and select the appropriate nail lengthbased on patient anatomy. When selecting nail size, considercanal diameter, fracture pattern, patient anatomy and postoperative protocol.
Note: Templates are available in two sizes: actual size and115% magnification in which the image is enlarged 15% tocorrespond to typical radiographic magnification; however,variations in magnification levels are common.
1Position patient
Position the patient in the lateral decubitus or supine positionon a fracture table or radiolucent operating table. Positionthe C-arm to allow visualization of the proximal femur inboth the AP and lateral planes.
To facilitate access to the medullary canal, abduct the upperpart of the body approximately 10°–15° to the contralateralside and adduct the affected limb by 10°–15°.

3Confirm nail length
Instrument
03.010.020 Radiographic Ruler for Titanium CannulatedFemoral Nails
The required nail length must be determined after reductionof the femoral fracture.
Position the C-arm for an AP view of the proximal femur.With long forceps, hold the ruler alongside the lateral thigh,parallel to and at the same level as the femur. Adjust theruler until the proximal end is at the desired nail insertiondepth. Mark the skin at the proximal end of the ruler.

Preoperative Planning continued
3Confirm nail length continued
Move the C-arm to the distal femur. Verify fracture reduction.Align the proximal end of the radiographic ruler to the skinmark, and take an AP image of the distal femur.
Read nail length directly from the ruler image, selecting themeasurement proximal to the epiphysis, or at the chosen insertion depth.
Notes:It is recommended to treat the fracture with the longest nailpossible without crossing the physis, taking into account patient anatomy or a previous implant. The distal end of thenail should be 15 mm from the physis.
Back-hammering or dynamization to close a fracture gap must be taken into account when determining the nail length.A shorter nail should be chosen when back-hammering or dynamization is planned. The dynamic slot allows 7 mm of movement.
4Confirm canal diameter
Instrument
03.010.023 Radiographic Canal Width Estimator
Position the C-arm for an AP or lateral view of the femur at the level of the isthmus. Hold the radiographic canal width estimator over the femur with the diameter gauge centered over the narrowest part of the medullary canal.Read the estimated diameter measurement on the circularindicator that fills the canal.
Note: If the reamed technique is used, the diameter of thelargest medullary reamer must be at least 1.0 mm greaterthan the nail diameter.

Opening the Femur
1Approach
Palpate the posterior edge of the greater trochanter.
Make a 3 cm incision in line with the central axis of the intramedullary canal in the lateral view, and depending on the anatomy of the patient, 2–5 cm proximal to the tip of the greater trochanter.
2Determine entry point
The insertion point is 12° lateral to the greater trochanter, asmeasured from a point 20 mm distal to the lesser trochanter.
The entry point can also be described as lateral to the greatertrochanter at the same level as the superior aspect of thebase of the femoral neck (just above the piriformis fossa).This point can be found by extending a line horizontally fromthe base of the femoral neck to the lateral side of the femur.

Instrument
03.010.103 3.2 mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit, quick coupling, 145 mm
If using the standard freehand technique, insert the tip ofthe drill bit through the incision and down to the bone.
Incline the drive so that the tip of the drill bit is centered overthe locking hole. Hold the drill bit in this position and drillthrough both cortices.
Technique tip: For greater drill bit control, discontinue drillpower after perforating the near cortex. Manually guide thedrill bit through the nail before resuming power to drill thefar cortex.
Alternative instrument
03.010.100 3.2 mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit, quick coupling,145 mm, for Radiolucent Drive
Using the radiolucent drive under image intensification, insert the tip of the drill bit through the incision and down to the bone.
Incline the drive so that the tip of the drill bit is centered overthe locking hole. The drill bit should almost completely fillthe circle of the locking hole. Hold the drill bit in this positionand drill through both cortices.

03.010.106 Direct Measuring Device, for Locking Screwsto 100 mm, for IM Nails
Stop drilling immediately after penetrating the far cortex.Disassemble the power drive or radiolucent drive from thedrill bit.
Ensure the correct position of the drill bit in regard to the far cortex of the femur.
Place the direct measuring device onto the drill bit. Read thegraduation on the measuring device at the end of the drillbit. This corresponds to the appropriate locking screw length.
Note: Drill bit location with respect to the far cortex is critical for measuring the appropriate locking screw length.
Alternative instrument
03.010.072 Depth Gauge, for locking screws to 100 mm, for IM nails
Measure the locking screw length using the depth gauge forlocking screws. Ensure the outer sleeve is in contact with thebone and the hook grasps the far cortex.
Read the locking screw length directly from the depth gaugeat the back of the outer sleeve.

Insert the locking screw using the screwdriver, and the holdingsleeve with locking device; if desired.
Verify locking screw length under image intensification. Thescrew tip should be about 2 mm beyond the far cortex. Ifneeded, a second locking screw may be inserted using thesame technique.
Use the holding sleeve as described below:Insert the holding sleeve onto the shaft of the screwdriverand place the tip of the screwdriver in the recess of the locking screw (Figure 1).
Push the holding sleeve in the direction of the locking screw.The sleeve now holds the locking screw.
Lock the holding sleeve by tightening it counterclockwise(Figure 2). After insertion of the locking screw, release the holding sleeve by loosening it clockwise and pulling itback (Figure 3).

Choose an end cap with the appropriate extension; 0 mm if the nail is not overinserted, 5 mm, 10 mm or 15 mm if the nail is overinserted.
The end caps are cannulated for use over a guide wire, if necessary.
Remove the nail insertion instruments.
Optionally, for insertion of the 0 mm end cap, remove theconnecting screw only. The insertion handle can remain tohelp align the end cap to the top of the nail. The 0 mm end cap fits through the barrel of the insertion handle.
Insert the guide wire into the proximal end of the nail.
Engage the end cap with the cannulated screwdriver by exerting axial pressure. To prevent cross-threading, align the end cap with the nail axis and turn the end cap counterclockwise, until the thread of the end cap aligns with that of the nail.
Turn the end cap clockwise to thread the end cap into the nail.
Remove the guide wire and screwdriver.
