Lag Screw Placement (cont.)
If compression is planned, thread the compression
device onto the lag screw inserter and twist it to the
level of the handle (Figure 25). This may be done
before or after attaching the lag screw. Insert the lag screw over the 3.2 mm pin and into
the femur (Figure 26). Confirm placement using the
C-arm. The handle on the lag screw inserter must
be parallel or perpendicular to the axis of the guide
(indicated by colored dots between the holes for
the lag screw cannulas).
