GENERAL SURGICAL TECHNIQUE – ON THE HANDLING OF SCREWS IN LOCKING PLATE SYSTEMS Placement of the locking plate, temporary fixation of the plate using Kirschner wires as required and X-rays (image intensifier monitoring). Screw insertion: Screwing the drill guide into the respective threaded hole. Note! The use of the drill guide is mandatory for mono-axial locking plates. In contrast, a simple protection sleeve can also be used for polyaxial locking plates. Drilling using a drill. The appropriate drill bits can be found in the corresponding set. The drill bit diameter matches the core diameter...

Surgical technique General handling Mono-axial and polyaxial locking systems Removal of the drill guide from the plate. Determination of the screw length using a gauge, the screw length displayed includes the screw head. The plates and screws in the sets are compatible with one another. The screws are labelled with the type of screw and diameter on the screw bar and are sorted by size. In addition, there is a scale on it for comparing it with the screw length. Here, the screw head must touch the end of the scale. The screw length can then be read. In the example in the image, the length is 20...

Note! With the polyaxial threaded holes, the screws with the conical head thread can be interlocked at their vertical main axis and at 4 further positions that are rotated around the main axis at an angle of 10°. As an alternative, standard screws can be used for mono-axial and polyaxial locking holes. (See characteristics on page 5) Caution! Where possible, always use three screws at the proximal and distal portion of the plate. Caution! The screws may not be placed directly into the fracture gap as this may result in instability or even material fatigue. Caution! When tailoring the plate to...
