Kuntscher Pointed Diamond Awl

Here are some common uses of the Kuntscher Pointed Diamond Awl:

• Reamed Intramedullary Nailing
  In cases where a larger diameter nail is required, this surgical instrument can be used to create a larger entry point in the bone. This facilitates the insertion of a reamer, which enlarges the medullary canal, preparing it for the insertion of a larger intramedullary nail.
• Cannulated Screw Fixation
  It can be used to create a pilot hole in the bone to facilitate the insertion of cannulated screws. Cannulated screws are often used in the fixation of fractures, particularly in the areas where compression and stabilization are required.
• Bone Grafting
  The Kuntscher Pointed Diamond Awl can be used to create channels or cavities in the bone to accommodate bone graft material. This helps facilitate the integration of the graft and promotes the healing process.
• Corrective Osteotomy
  The Kuntscher Pointed Diamond Awl can be used to create controlled osteotomies. It helps in creating precise cuts in the bone, allowing for accurate correction and alignment.
