From: Variable fixation promotes callus formation: an experimental study on transverse tibial osteotomies stabilized with locking plates

Fig. 3

The broad 6-hole LCP was slightly contoured to fit the tibial shaft (panel a1) and a custom cutting guide was temporarily fixed to the intact tibia. An osteotomy was performed through the guiding slots (panel b1-c1). The fragments were then repositioned and fixed with the six-hole plate and either combination of screws with the 3-mm distance metallic holder in place (panel a2-c2)
