hip fracture 4-hole plate fixation

When placed (guidepin) the initial placement looked slightly too far posterior, therefore it was withdrawn out to the fracture line and anterior pressure from the heel of the hand was pressed downward on the fracture area to more surely neutralize the pull of the s/l cellus and the pin was then advanced and was at this point more centralized in the head and neck fragment and better .......   (Can't find anything that the cellus would be) any ideas?  TIA

Also for this sentence too....X-rays show the proximal third of the ulna fracture in good position with good callus formation. tia.
