Functional Principle Lag Screw Technique with Compression Sleeve Step 1: Screw insertion nsertion of the screw into the bone with the compression sleeve. Once the tip of the compression sleeve lies on the bone, the fracture gap is closed and compressed by further turn- Once the desired degree of compres- sion is reached, the screw is counter- sunk into the bone with the screwdriver while the compression sleeve is held stationary. During countersinking no additional compression is generated.

Hand - Scaphoid The following simplified surgical technique for a scaphoid fracture serves as example for the use of the HCS 2.4 or 3.0 Insert the guide wire 292.623 Guide Wire 01.1 mm with trocar tip, length 150 mm. Stainless Steel 292.622 Guide Wire 01.1 mm with threaded tip, with trocar, length 1 50 mm. Stainless Steel 312.151 Double Drill Guide 2.0/1.1 O While monitoring with the image intensifier, advance the guide wire through the drill guide into the bone until the thread tip is anchored in the far cortex.

Hand - Scaphoid Option: ream the trapezium 03.226.003 Trapezium Burr, cannulated, for HCS - Headless Compression Screw 03.226.005 Protection Sleeve for HCS - Headless 31 1.430 Handle with Quick Coupling, To facilitate screw insertion, the flank of the trapezium can be removed with the trapezium burr. Slide the trapezium burr with the protection sleeve over the guide wire and carefully ream the trapezium. O Ensure that the trapezium burr does not damage the scaphoid by using image intensification. Note: Do not forcefully insert the trapezium burr since this may damage the guide wire. Synthes...

3 Determine screw and thread length Instruments 03.226.002 Direct Measuring Device for HCS – Headless Compression Screw л 2.4/3.0 mm 292.623 Guide Wire л 1.1 mm with trocar tip, length 150 mm, Stainless Steel or 292.622 Guide Wire л 1.1 mm with threaded tip, with trocar, length 150 mm, Stainless Steel Slide the narrow end of the measuring device over the guide wire to the bone. The measurement on the measuring device shows the depth of the guide wire in the bone in millimeters and directly the appropriate screw length. If the screw is to be countersunk below the surface of the bone,...

Slide the drill guide with the drill bit over the guide wire and pre-drill to the desired depth. Remove the drill guide and verify the effective drilling depth with the image intensifier. Note: Do not drill beyond the tip of the guide wire. Slowly pull the drill bit straight out while running the power tool in “forward mode” to ensure that the guide wire stays in...
