<strong>Operative</strong> <strong>Technique</strong><br />

The Long Tissue Protection Sleeve<br />

together with the Long Drill Sleeve<br />

and the Long Trocar are positioned<br />

through the dynamic locking hole<br />

of the Target Template placed on<br />

the Targeting Adapter. A small skin<br />

incision is made, and the assembly<br />

is pushed through, until the Tissue<br />

Protection Sleeve is in contact with the<br />

lateral cortex of the femur (Fig. 43).<br />

Fig. 43<br />

The Trocar is removed, while the<br />

Tissue Protection Sleeve and the Drill<br />

Sleeve remain in position.<br />

In order to insert the Partially<br />

Threaded Screw, drill both cortices<br />

with the Ø4.2×340 Drill (1806-<br />

4260S). Next, drill the near cortex,<br />

ONLY, with the Ø5×230mm Drill<br />

(1806-5000S) (Fig. 44).<br />

Note:<br />

After the opposite cortex is drilled<br />

with the Ø4,2×320mm Drill, the<br />

correct screw length can be read<br />

directly off of the calibrated Drill<br />

at the end of the Long Drill Sleeve.<br />

Routine Locking Screw insertion is<br />

employed with the assembled Long<br />

Screwdriver Shaft and Teardrop<br />

Handle (Fig. 45).<br />
