Figure 2

Minimally invasive surgical implantation of the RTN. Osteosynthesis with the RTN is possible through limited skin incisions. Human cadaver specimen of a left lower limb. The RTN is inserted through the medial malleolus, while interlocking is performed though separate small incisions. The aiming device allows for x-ray free interlocking at all levels.
