SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Preoperative planning is recommended to assess the fracture and determine the appropriate plate length. Warning: Be cautious of plate and/or screw placement in patients with open growth plates. Exposure and Fracture Reduction Position patient appropriately for the selected small bone procedure. Expose the surgical site according to surgeon’s preference. Reduce the fracture according to standard practice. Caution: When using locked plating techniques, reduction should, where possible, be within 1mm to limit fracture fragment motion during healing. Note: Lag screws can be used...

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Screw Insertion Place the appropriate end (2.0 or 2.8 mm) of the double-ended drill guide into the neutral portion of a compression hole. Drill with appropriate drill bit (fig 3). For compression, place the appropriate end (2.0 or 2.8mm) of the double-ended drill guide into the compression end of the compression hole portion. If no compression is desired, complete step for the remainder of the required holes. Drill with appropriate drill bit (fig 6). Caution: Double-ended drill guide metal tips contain sharp features to provide friction against bone surface. Caution: Double-ended...

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Closure An intraoperative radiograph is recommended to check the final reduction of the fracture and the position of the screws. The wound is closed according to surgeon preference. Note: For unstable repair constructs, i.e., highly comminuted fractures, post-operative loading should be restricted to a level determined by the physician until callus formation is radiographically documented. Implant Removal Remove the screws completely from the bone. Remove the plate. The WishBone Medical Broken Screw Removal Kit is available for screw removal. STRAIGHT COMPRESSION PLATES SURGICAL...
