Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides a detailed surgical technique for the use of Inion Freedom™ screws and plates, focusing on the selection, preparation, and insertion of the implants.
Specifications
The document lists various Inion Freedom™ Drill taps and sleeves with specific diameters, indicating their non-cannulated nature and compatibility with different screw sizes. The drill taps are designed to perform drilling and tapping simultaneously, reducing operation time.
Procedures
  • Select the appropriate Inion Freedom™ screw based on the indication and review the implant-specific instructions.
  • Use the Drill sleeve instrument with the Drill tap, pressing firmly against the bone. Drill through the fracture or osteotomy line at a slow speed, using irrigation. Follow depth markings on the Drill tap shaft to determine the correct screw length, confirmed by intraoperative X-ray or a depth gauge.
  • Mark the required screw length on the screw shaft with a sterile marker.
  • Insert the screw into the drill hole using the appropriate screwdriver until the mark reaches the bone surface.
  • Cut and trim the screw using a low-temperature cautery instrument 1–2 mm above the bone surface.
Fixation of Inion FreedomPlate™
  • Select the appropriate implant and review instructions.
  • Use the Drill sleeve instrument with the Drill tap, pressing the plate tightly against the bone.
  • Drill through the plate at a slow speed, using irrigation, and set the drill machine to reverse when removing the Drill tap.
  • Determine and mark the required screw length on the screw shaft.
  • Insert the screw until the mark reaches the plate surface, then cut, trim, and lock the screw to the plate using a low-temperature cautery instrument 1–2 mm above the plate surface.
Recommendations
The document emphasizes the use of the Drill sleeve to prevent instrument wobble and protect surrounding soft tissues during drilling.
