Nail Entry Site Preparation
Make a plantar incision at least 2 cm in length. The incision can
be in the longitudinal or transverse direction, according to surgeon
preference. Bluntly dissect the soft tissue down to the surface of
the calcaneus. Extreme care must be taken to protect the plantar
neurovascular structures throughout the procedure.

Targeting Frame Assembly
Instruments Used:
1. Targeting Frame (30)
To assemble the Targeting Frame, slide the Manual Compression Tubes onto the Deployment
Base. Push down on the gold latch on top of the Compression Tube arch to lock it in place (A).
The Frame is secured in place when the Manual Compression Assembly no longer slides
and the latch pops up to its original position.

BEFORE loading the Nail Implant, be sure to check that:
• The numbered gold Stop Wheel is set to “0” and that the lever is in the upright
position to allow the DynaNail Implant to attach to the frame (B).
• The gold Manual Compression Knob is in the starting position by rotating it fully
counter clockwise. This sets the Manual Compression Tubes to the “0” position (C).
• If the Stop Wheel is not set to zero: pull the lever down, turn the Stop Wheel
to “0,”and return the lever to its upright position.
