Product Overview
A radiolucent targeting guide is included in the Radial Head Plating System to assist with threading the locking drill guide into the proximal locking holes. Screw length is determined with either the laser marking on the drill bit or with the depth probe, allowing depth measurement to be read directly off of the drill guide.
K-wire holes are included in the plate for provisional fixation distally, and specially designed plate tacks may be used for provisional fixation proximally. The benefit of the short length of the Plate Tack is that it is designed to not interfere with the drilling and placement of the proximal screws.
The distal tip of the Plate Tack is threaded, allowing it to maintain its provisional fixation until it is removed later in the procedure.
