Depage (Fig. 1065) provides a long screw which terminates in a pliablewire. After boring a suitable hole he passes the screw through both by the pliable wire he threads a nut on to the screw and thus can getvery firm approximation. The excess of screw is cut away. The objectionsto this procedure are the wide exposure necessary and the difficulty of removingthe plate should that subsequently be necessary. SYNTHESIS BONE 899.
