Preoperative planning
•
Evaluate the fracture type on the basis
of the X-rays / CT and select the appro-
priate plate length and screw positions.
•
LOQTEQ® Olecranon Plates are anatomically
precontoured to fit to normal ulna ana-
tomy. Although not usually necessary, the
plates may be contoured to the individual
patient anatomy.
The plates (except the short, 2-hole plates)
feature bending elements to facilitate
the bending process. Use bending irons
to contour the plates as needed.
C
AUTION
:
Observe the following while bending the
plates, avoid repeatedly or excessevely
bending the plates as it may result in
implant failure. Bend the plate between
the holes to prevent the loss of locking
function. Avoid any sharp-edged damage
by instruments.
