Surgical <strong>Technique</strong> (continued)<br />
Following implantation of the distal blocking<br />
screw and fracture reduction, pass the 11.0mm<br />
T-Handle Awl into the proximal fragment.<br />
Re-position either the Blocking Screw Cartridge<br />
or the Awl as necessary and follow the<br />
previously described technique for blocking<br />
screw insertion.<br />
ML Blocking Screw Insertion<br />
In order to prevent anterior or posterior<br />
malalignment of the distal fragment, blocking<br />
screws may also be placed in the ML plane.<br />
Attach the Blocking Screw Device to the 11.0mm<br />
T-Handle Awl and rotate it into the desired<br />
position in the ML plane.<br />
Tighten the device to the Awl and insert the<br />
appropriate Blocking Screw Cartridge. Adjust<br />
the Cartridge proximally or distally within the<br />
Blocking Screw Device to determine blocking<br />
screw position. Blocking screw insertion follows<br />
the previously described technique.<br />
