CORRECT ANSWERS
⩥ What suture is the Tightrope XP Drill loaded with? Answer: #5
UHMWPE
⩥ What does UHMWPE stand for? Answer: Ultra High Molecular
Weight Polyethylene
⩥ What is the transmalleolar plane? Answer: A plane that is 30 degrees
anterior to the coronal plane.
⩥ What should be done before drilling for the XP tightrope Answer:
Stabilize all fractures first.
⩥ Where should the drilling for the tightrope xp start? Answer: About
1.5 cm above the joint line.
⩥ What is the size of the drill bit for the tightrope xp? Answer: 3.7.
, ⩥ How should the black knob on the tightrope xp be positioned during
passing? Answer: Either towards the foot or towards the head. Towards
the foot is slightly better.
⩥ Why is positioning the black knob for the tightrope xp towards the

When the button is towards the foot the 45 degree angle lines up with
the tibia and allows the button to flip without pushing out into the soft
tissues as much
⩥ How is the tightrope XP tensioned? Answer: Hold the center of the
sutures and walk the button down to the plate or nail before starting to
tension to stop the suture from bunching
⩥ What plates come in the Ankle Fracture system? Answer: Locking
distal fibula plates, Locking third tubular, Locking Straight, Medial
Hook Plate, Locking Lateral Hook Plate
⩥ What are the features of the Locking distal fibula plates? Answer:
Only plate with suture holes that can be used for the AiTFL.
⩥ What sizes of screws can be used in the head of the locking distal
