Cases
Fracture involving the proximal component
Case 1
The use of the three locking screws in the proximal oblique
locking options ensures optimal stabilization of the proximal
fragment. The distal segment can be stabilized by using
two ML locking options. Stability of the distal fragment can
be enhanced by the use of a third locking screw in the AP
hole.
Shaft fracture
Case 2
For simple shaft fractures, two proximal ML and two distal
ML locking screws are normally sufficient to stabilize the
fracture. Secondary dynaminization is achieved by removing
the proximal static locking screw.
Fracture involving the distal component
Case 3
The use of four distal locking screws is sometimes necessary
to achieve stabilization of the distal fragment. In many
cases though, three locking screws placed in the most distal
locking options are sufficient to stabilize the distal fragment.
