Once the plate is properly aligned with the bone, remove the
drill sleeve and stabilization bolt from hole B. Insert the trocar
through the drill sleeve in the most proximal hole of the
plate. Perform a stab incision and push the drill sleeve and
the trocar down to the plate. Check the correct position of
the proximal part of the plate, either with the image intensi-
fier or by direct palpation.
Option: Check plate position with a Kirschner Wire
Instrument
292.699 Kirschner Wire
⭋
2.0 mm with threaded tip
Use a Kirschner wire to check the correct position of the
proximal part of the plate on the bone.
Secure the position of the drill sleeve with the lateral screw
on the insertion guide. Replace the trocar with a stabilization
bolt. To close the frame, thread the stabilization bolt into the
plate.
Note:
Due to soft tissues around the stabilization bolt, it will
be difficult to change the position of the plate/handle assem-
bly once the bolt has been inserted.
