<strong>Operative</strong> <strong>Technique</strong> – Antegrade <strong>Technique</strong><br />
After drilling both cortices, the screw<br />
length may be read directly off of<br />
the Screw Scale, Short (1806-0360)<br />
at the orange color coded ring on the<br />
center-tipped Drill (Fig. 30). As with<br />
proximal locking (Fig. 21, p. 19), the<br />
position of the end of the drill is equal<br />
to the end of the screw as they relate to<br />
the far cortex.<br />
Routine Locking Screw insertion is<br />
employed with the assembled Short<br />
Screwdriver Shaft and the Teardrop<br />
Handle.<br />
If possible, the distal humerus should<br />
be locked with two Fully Threaded<br />
Locking Screws. Additional locking of<br />
the M/L hole(s) is possible if the image<br />
intensifier can be adjusted (Fig. 31).<br />
Note:<br />
Use image intensification to<br />
confirm screw position through<br />
the nail as well as screw length.<br />
Alternatively, the Screw Gauge can be<br />
used to measure the screw length.<br />
