Plate impaction
Use the impactor to bring the plate down to the bone, with the barrel
sliding over the screw shank.
The compression screw may be utilized to couple the screw to the plate.
Pearl: do not use compression screw in osteoporotic patients
Do not use the compression screw in osteoporotic patients – it can cause
the DCS thread to strip out from the soft cancellous bone of the medial femoral
condyle.
