Locking Proximally
Proximal locking can be achieved with the leg in full extension. This neutralizes the deforming forces
on proximal fragments caused by the quadriceps mechanism and relieves the pressure on soft tissue
usually associated with tibial nail insertion instruments. This position also facilitates assessment of
rotational alignment prior to locking.

Stat 1 for static, transverse locking.
Stat 2 for static, transverse locking. Allows locking of very proximal fractures.
Dynamic for immediate dynamization.
Oblique for the most superior proximal locking option.
