Surgical Technique
Distal Humerus Plates 2.7 / 3.5
•
Plate position: on the lateral column, radial
•
Orientation of distal screws: posteroanterior
•
Temporarily fixate the plate with K-wires through the holes in the
plate that are intended for this purpose.
•
As an alternative to the K-wires, a standard cortical screw 3.5 mm
(gold) can be inserted in the oblong hole. For this purpose, use a
double drill guide ø2.7 / 3.5 and a twist drill ø2.7 and drill to the
required depth. Then determine the screw length using the depth
gauge and insert a screw of the appropriate length. This screw can
simultaneously pull the plate towards the shaft.
•
Check plate position using fluoroscopy and adjust if required.
•
Please refer to the pages 15-17 for the detailed description of the
surgical steps.
•
Plate position: lateral column, radial
•
Orientation of distal screws: lateromedial
•
The aiming arm assists in positioning the distal screws of both the
distal medial and lateral plates to help to ensure optimal support
for the articular block of the distal humerus.
•
Please refer to the pages 13-17 for the detailed description of the
surgical steps.
