Drill and determine screw length
Instrument
03.010.060 3.2 mm Three-Fluted Drill Bit, quick coupling,
330 mm, 100 mm calibration
Insert the calibrated drill bit and drill through both cortices,
until the tip of the drill bit just breaks through the medial
cortex. Confirm drill bit position under imaging.
Read the required length of the screw directly off the cali-
brated drill bit at the back of the drill sleeve. Press the drill
sleeve firmly to the cortex to ensure accurate measurement.
Remove the drill bit and drill sleeve.
Note:
The Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) (Figure 1)
may be useful in cases where increased stability is needed,
as in fractures closer to the metaphyseal area or in poor quality
bone. For additional information, please refer to the
ASLS
Technique Guide.
Optional technique: Ascending screw (level E)
Warning:
Before insertion of the ascending screw, identify
and protect the axillary nerve. Only incise the skin and then
perform blunt dissection, to avoid injuring the axillary nerve
and its branches.
Insert the calibrated drill bit and drill carefully until the level
of the subchondral bone is reached. Confirm drill bit position
under imaging.
Caution:
Do not penetrate the articular surface.
