Plate selection
The plates are available in various lengths and configurations similar to the Synplate ®
Conventional Plate Set. If necessary, use a bending instruments to determine plate
length and configuration.
Determine whether conventional cortex screws, cancellous bone screws or locking screws
will be used for fixation. A combination of all may be used. If a combination of cortex,
cancellous and locking screws is used, a conventional screw should be used first to pull
the plate to the bone. If a locking screw is used first, care should be taken to ensure that
the plate is held securely to the bone to avoid spinning of the plate about the bone as the
locking screw is tightened to the plate.

Contouring Insertion of a cortex or cancellous bone screw

Use the bending instruments to contour the Locking Compression Plate to the
anatomy.The plate holes have been designed to accept some degree of deformation. When
bending the plate, place the bending irons on two consecutive holes. This ensures that the
threaded holes will not be distorted. Significant distortion of the locking holes will reduce
locking effectiveness.*
Use the 4.5 mm or 3.5mm Universal Drill Guide for an eccentric (compression) or neutral
(buttress) insertion of cortex screws. The 4.5 mm or 3.5mm LC-DCP Drill Guide and DCP
Drill Guide are not suitable for use with LCP plates.

* More times contouring is not allowed.

Neutral insertion of a conventional screw in Compression hole

Reduction and temporary plate placement

The plate may be temporarily held in place with standard plate holding forceps. The
middle of the plate should be positioned over the fracture site if compression of the
fracture fragments is desired. Alternatively, the Drill Guide can be used as an aid to
position the plate on the bone.
When pressing the universal drill guide into the DCU
portion of the Compression hole, it will center itself and allow
neutral predrilling.

longer be possible without loosening the locking screw.

A
Screw the appropriate Threaded Drill Guide for 3.5
mm, 5.0mm or 6.5mm screws into an LCP locking
hole until fully seated. Do not try to bend the plate
using the Threaded Drill Guide because damage
may occur to the threads.

Neutral insertion of a conventional screw in locking hole

When pressing the universal drill guide into the unique design locking hole, it will center
itself and allow neutral predrilling. B
Use the appropriate Drill Bit (2.8 mm for 3.5 mm
screws, 4.3 mm for 5.0 mm screws and 5.8mm for
6.5mm cannulated screws) to drill to the desired
depth.
