One of the holes in the splint plate is slotted to allow the compression or distraction of the bone ends whereupon short bone screws are positioned through other holes in the splint plate into the bone ends allowing the blocks to be removed and its screws replaced by short bone screws positioned through the same holes in the plate and into the bone ends.
