There are four options to obtain<br />

the proper Locking Screw length<br />

as illustrated below.<br />

Correct Screw Selection<br />

Select a screw approximately 2-3mm<br />

shorter than the measured length to<br />

avoid screw penetrations through<br />

the opposite cortex in metaphyseal<br />

fixation.<br />

Add 2-3mm to measured length<br />

for bi-cortical shaft fixation.<br />
