Intraoperative images showing fixation of the proximal tibia osteotomy contoured plate into the osteotomy site on a left knee: (A) surgical image of a left knee showing drilling of the screw tunnel into the distal aspect of the plate, (B) image of the same surgical knee following drilling of the screw tunnel showing measurement of the appropriate screw length with a depth gage, and (C) intraoperative photo of the same surgical knee showing placement of a fully threaded nonlocking screw into the proximal aspect of the plate. Observe that one of the tine devices is kept in place to sustain the desired opening while the plate is initially fixed.
