Fig. 2

Find the largest screw path. a The 3D model was turned to the axial perspective to find the largest translucent area. b The red outline represents the top boundary of the horizontal part of the coracoid process, and the blue outline represents the boundary of the cross section of the base of the coracoid process. The green and orange areas represent the two screw paths. c Two virtual screws were inserted into the green and orange areas, respectively. Then, the diameters were increased progressively until they reached the borderline of the area (the red circle of the cylinder represents the largest medial screw, and the purple one represents the largest lateral screw)
