From: In-vitro comparison of LC-DCP- and LCP-constructs in the femur of newborn calves – a pilot study
Craniocaudal radiographic view of the femurs obtained at postmortem from a five-day-old Simmental bull calf. A broad 7-hole LC-DCP (left) has been used in one femur and a 7-hole LCP (right) was used in the other femur. The plates are placed craniolaterally on the bones and as far distally as possible. The plate holes and screws are numbered from proximal (No. 1) to distal (No. 7). In the LCP, two central 4.5 mm cortical screws and 5.0 mm locking screws are used.
