Surgical Technique DART-FIRE® Small Screw System Preoperative Planning The DART-FIRE® Small Screw System is composed of a variety of small diameter screws in headed and headless versions. The correct screw selection for the procedure is extremely important, and preoperative consideration of the proper screw size and design will increase the potential for surgical success. K-wire Placement The appropriate K-wire (Tables 2 & 3) is advanced across the fusion or osteotomy site. | FIGURE 4 Verify the desired positioning of the wire fluoroscopically. FIGURE 4 Insertion of an appropriate sized...

Drilling The DART-FIRE® Small Screw System has been designed to be self-drilling and selftapping. However, in some situations such as hard cortical bone, bicortical fixation, or when an oblique approach is desired, drilling may be necessary. Additionally, it is recommended to pre-drill the near cortex when using headless screws to prevent the proximal threaded portion from splitting or cracking the cortical shell. | FIGURE 6 Slide the appropriate color-banded drill bit (Table 2 & 3) over the K-wire. Under power, drill just past the osteotomy or fusion site. Countersinking FIGURE 6 Drilling...

Verify Screw Length Prior to inserting the screw, verify the length and diameter of the selected screw with the screw gauge provided on the DART-FIRE® Small Screw System screw caddy. Note the use of Angled Tip Forceps may facilitate screw removal from the caddy. | FIGURE 8 Screw Placement FIGURE 8 Verification of screw length on caddy. Load the appropriate Driver (Tables 2 & 3) into the Cannulated AO Driver Handle. Place the screw over the K-wire and use the Driver to advance the screw into the bone, until the head is completely countersunk within the bone. | FIGURE 9 Depending on the...
