Paragraph Number

78

The handle 310 is used by an operator to manipulate the intramedullary nail 100 or intramedullary nail system 200 during deployment or retraction. The driver 320 can include external threads that engage with internal threads of a coupling 110/third coupling 220 to secure the driver 320 to the coupling 110/third coupling 220. Alternatively, the driver 320 can include a different engagement feature such as a friction fit, tabs, grooves, etc. for connecting to the coupling 110/third coupling 220 for the deployment or for a retraction.
