Insert a trocar assembly (protection sleeve, drill sleeve and
trocar) through the most proximal hole of the lateral aiming
arm (level A).
Insert a second trocar assembly through the anterior hole of
the lateral aiming arm (level D).
The screw on level D should be placed as anteriorly as possible
without injuring the long biceps tendon. This determines the
rotation of the implant.
Caution:
Do not place any screw in the bicipital groove.
Push one trocar down to the bone. Remove the trocar.
Note:
The holes for the MultiLoc screws are marked with an
orange circle.
Technique tip:
For temporary fixation, remove one of the
trocars and insert a 2.5 mm Kirschner wire.
