Avanti - Ulnar Shortening System - Datasheet

Approach the distal ulnar shaft along the subcutaneous border between the ECU and FCU tendons while being mindful of the dorsoulnar sensory branch. Expose the ulna either dorsally or volarly extra-periosteally avoiding unnecessary soft tissue stripping. Apply the ulnar shortening plate with the Avanti logo side of the plate toward the surgeon. Affix the plate to the bone with one non-locking 2.7mm cortical screw in the oblong hole at the end furthest from the osteotomy site as indicated by the double arrow. The opposite end of the plate can be secured with non-locking, far-cortical locking or standard locking screws at the surgeon’s discretion.
