Determine nail diameter

To determine nail diameter, position the image intensifier

for an AP view of the femur at the level of the isthmus.

Hold the radiographic ruler perpendicular to the femur

and position the diameter tabs over the isthmus. Read the

diameter measurement on the tab that fills the canal.

Note: Take into consideration that the ruler is not at the

same level as the femur. This will affect the accuracy of

the measurement.
