Positioning the Pin
- A 2.5 mm diameter graduated K-wire, 200
mm long (115225ND) is introduced into the
site where the I.CO.S.® 6.5 mm screw
diameter is to be implanted
- The K-wire is positioned by means of drilling
guides and soft tissue protector (119541ND,
119551ND and 119552ND)
- Failure to use the drilling guide and
protecting sleeve when inserting the K-wire
may result in soft tissue entrapment
- Care should be taken when the K-wire is
inserted to respect neighboring blood vessels,
nerves and tissues
- The depth of inseretion of the K-wire
depends upon the surgeons will to achieve
a mono or bi-cortical osteosynthesis
