Subject: Ortho procedure, doing ankle surgery
My question is he is just saying 45 hole, not saying 4.5 hole so do I assume he means 4.5? I get so confused by this. This is the sentence leading up to my question.
A 4.5-mm syndesmotic screw was now inserted using standard AO technique. I placed the screw in lag mode. A 4.5-mm drill bit used on the fibula. A guide was placed in the 45 or 4.5?? hole.
