Stretch the Compressive Element by pulling the lever into the full
downward position (A). Use the Stop Wheel to set the desired amount
of compression (up to 6 mm) from the Compressive Element (B, C). For
example, setting the Stop Wheel to 6 signifies the Compressive Element
is stretched by 6 mm and can therefore unload and maintain compression
for up to 6 mm of bone resorption and/or settling.
Flip the lever back up into its relaxed position (D). Note the DynaNail’s
calcaneal screw holes have translated distally and are now in their final
position. Confirm desired location of screw holes in the calcaneus under
fluoroscopy before continuing.
