Lag Screw Placement
(cont.)
Note:
If using the flexible captured set screw
driver make sure that it is not used at an angle
greater than 40°. If it is used at an angle greater
than 40°, it may be damaged.
The set screw should be tightened down into the
groove in the lag screw. As noted above, the lag
screw inserter must be positioned so that the handle
on the inserter is parallel or perpendicular to the
colored dots on the targeting guide in order for the
set screw and lag screw grooves to engage properly.
To verify engagement, attempt to twist the lag screw
inserter. If it cannot be rotated using a reasonable
amount of force, the construct is in the correct
position. If rotation is possible, adjust the position
of the lag screw (rotate slightly) so that the set screw
can enter the groove in the lag screw (Figure 32).
Note:
To achieve sliding, tighten the set screw and
then rotate the set screw inserter counterclockwise
one quarter turn. Do not unscrew the set screw
more than one quarter turn.
Make sure that the set screw is still engaged in the
groove by checking that it is still not possible to turn
the lag screw with the lag screw inserter. Disengage
the lag screw inserter from the lag screw. A 3.5 mm
hex screwdriver may be used to disengage the lag
screw retaining shaft from the lag screw.
The lag screw cannula can be left in place to aid
in stabilizing the construct during distal screw
placement in the short nails, if desired (Figure 33).
Remove the set screw inserter.
