My question is he is just saying 45 hole, not saying 4.5 hole so do I assume he means 4.5?  I get so confused by this.  This is the sentence leading up to my question. 


A 4.5-mm syndesmotic screw was now inserted using standard AO technique.  I placed the screw in lag mode.  A 4.5-mm drill bit used on the fibula.  A guide was placed in the 45 or 4.5?? hole.
