Distal Humerus Plates 2.7 / 3.5
1.5 mm
•
Position the medial plate on the madial column at the distal humerus
using the aiming arm prefixing it in the most distal plate hole.
•
Plate position: on the medial column, medial distal
•
Orientation of distal screws: mediolateral
N
OTE
:
Screw the drill guide in the most distal screw hole of the medial
plate and position the opposite tip of the aiming pointer in the
location of the desired screw penetration point on the lateral side.
In case of the pointer indicating a likely penetration of an area
within the joint, try one hole up.

AUTION
:
To reduce the risk of glove perforation, care should be taken
when using the aiming pointer of the aiming arm.
N
OTE
:
The offset of the twist drill / K-wire is 1.5 mm.
N
OTE
:
If for example an angle stable screw fixation should not be possible
in the most distal plate hole, the cortical screws 2.5 mm (gold)
offer a draw-back with an option of slight angulation. In that
case the principle of internal fixation will be violated for that
particular hole.
