The goal of this monocenter randomized pilot study is to investigate the usability of the ADEPTH sensor for bore depth measurements in plate osteosynthesis procedures. The main question it aims to answer is: \- What is the usability score of the ADEPTH sensor for bore depth measurements during plate osteosynthesis procedures? Participants will receive either bore depth measurements with the ADEPTH sensor or with the manual depth gauge.
To assess the usability score of the ADEPTH sensor for bore depth measurements in plate osteosynthesis procedures. The surgeon and OR-assistant will fill in one survey after performing 3 operations with the ADEPTH sensor and one survey after performing 3 operations with the manual depth gauge.
