The compression slot on the Knee Nail was placed at the non-driving end of the implant to maximize its location given strength considerations of the implant and minimizing the risk of it irritating the knee joint. In addition, it offers controlled dynamization with a maximum of 5mm to avoid length malunions and excessive shortening.
