Surgical Technique for <strong>HCS</strong> <strong>2.4</strong>/3.05Insert <strong>screw</strong> and compress fragmentInstruments03.226.006 Handle for Compression Sleeve, for <strong>HCS</strong>For <strong>HCS</strong> <strong>2.4</strong>03.226.016 Compression Sleeve for <strong>HCS</strong> – HeadlessCompression Screw <strong>2.4</strong> mmFor <strong>HCS</strong> 3.003.226.000 Compression Sleeve for <strong>HCS</strong> – HeadlessCompression Screw 3.0 mmSlide the handle into the <strong>compression</strong> sleeve. Insert the <strong>screw</strong>into the bone until the fracture gap or the osteotomy isclosed and compressed.Notes– Verify the correct position of the shaft thread in the distalfragment using the image intensifier. If the thread lies overthe fracture gap or the osteotomy, the gap cannot be compressed.– Carefully tighten the <strong>screw</strong> with the <strong>compression</strong> sleeve.Forceful tightening could cause stripping of the shaftthread.– If the thread strips, some or all of the <strong>compression</strong> will belost. If the <strong>screw</strong> is then countersunk correctly, the threadwill regain purchase, thereby reducing the danger of postoperative<strong>screw</strong> loosening.– If loss of <strong>compression</strong> makes <strong>screw</strong> extraction necessary,follow the instructions on <strong>screw</strong> extraction on page 13.10 Synthes <strong>HCS</strong> <strong>2.4</strong>/3.0 Instructions for Use
