Instruments
324.052 Torque-limiting Screwdriver 3.5, hexagonal
or
314.163 Torque-limiting Screwdriver Stardrive, T25
324.019 Stopper
Choose a periprosthetic screw according to the measured
length. Insert and lock the screw with the torque-limiting
screwdriver through the drill sleeve for LISS insertion guide.
Insert a stopper into the LISS insertion guide after screw
insertion.
Notes
– If the measured drill depth is shorter than 8 mm, do not
use periprosthetic screws.
– Never place a screw which is longer than the measured
length, as this will result in stripping of the thread in the
bone and loss of screw anchoring.
