Usability of the ADEPTH system for bore depth measurements in plate osteosynthesis procedures: A monocenter randomized pilot study

Objectives and questions: During plate-osteosynthesis, screw length is measured manually with a depth gauge (DG). Although this method is standard in daily operative care, it can be inaccurate, time consuming, and cumbersome to use for surgeons. To increase accuracy and to save time, the ADEPTH sensor [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
