Locking Screw Measurement<br />
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 />
Measurement Options<br />
Measure off K-Wire<br />
Read off drill bit calibration<br />
