4. Measure for blade length

With the drill guide removed, use the measuring device* [319.21] to determine the length of the guide wire in the bone. Choose a blade length at least 5 mm shorter than this measurement. Using the 4.5 mm Cannulated Drill Bit [310.69] over the guide wire, drill the near cortex.

* Note: A 230 mm long guide wire must be used for accurate measurement with this measuring device.
