Instrument assembly 1 Choose the matching guiding block and place it onto the plate head. Make sure that the three-point locking mechanism is positioned on the pre-contoured reference points of the plate. 2 Insert a first LCP drill sleeve through the guiding block into the central hole (A) of the plate and tighten it. A 3 To lock the LCP drill sleeve tighten the locking nut of the guiding block by turning it clockwise. Synthes 5

4 For preparing additional holes in the plate head insert LCP drill sleeves in the surrounding holes. Predrilling and screw measurement Pre-drill with the LCP drill bit л 4.3 mm. Measure screw length by reading the drilled depth directly from the laser mark on the drill bit. To make reading easier shove the stop ring down to the drill sleeve. Screw insertion Remove the LCP drill sleeve. Insert the locking screw through the guiding block. 6 Synthes LCP DF and PLT
