Instruments
324.055 Centering Sleeve for Kirschner Wires
324.037 LISS Measuring Device for Kirschner Wires
292.699 2.0 mm Kirschner wire, length 280 mm
It is also possible to use the measuring device with a 2.0 mm
Kirschner wire, placed through the centering sleeve.
Using image intensification, insert the Kirschner wire to the
desired depth leaving at least 5 mm between the tip of the
Kirschner wire and the medial cortex. Measure the screw
length over the Kirschner wire using the measuring device
for Kirschner wires, leaving the centering sleeve in place, and
round down to the nearest screw length. This will ensure
that the tip of the screw will not protrude through the me-
dial cortex.
Option A Insertion of Self-Drilling, Monocortical Locking Screws
