1When implanting this plate, the following screw orderplacement is suggested.

x Place a cortex screw in the elongated hole (1), leaving the screw slightly loose. Screw placement is at the midaxial line. Place plate prior to the K-wire so that the cortex screw can be positioned at the midaxial line

x Provisionally fix the condyles. Place a K-wire in the center of the condyle, so the wire is located between the two distal holes (2). The K-wire should be placed in the center of the axis of the joint. K-wire placement is relative to the fan-shaped, central collateral ligament. Note that the footprint of the ligament is larger than the center of the axis. Make small adjustments to K-wire placement to avoid intra-articular placement of screws, while still creating a stable construct. Variations in K-wire placement are at surgeon’s discretion, considering periarticular tissue and fracture size. For 1.3 mm plates, use a 0.6 mm K-wire. For 1.5 mm plates, use a 0.8 mm K-wire

x Adjust the plate along the bone shaft, as necessary, so that the K-wire abuts the plate. Tighten the cortex screw in the elongated hole

x Place a screw in most distal hole (3)x Place screw in most volar hole (4)x Confirm placement and depth of screws under

For more information, refer to the Featured Instrument section.


Optional Instrument

03.130.280 Plate Holding Forceps, Soft Lock

As an alternative, the Plate Holding Forceps may be used to hold the plate to the bone. Insert the ball portion through a plate hole to the bone. The curved arm wraps around the underside of the bone through the incision.

Close the forceps to the desired tightness to hold the plate. The forceps is designed to remain in place after the handles are released.

Precaution: When using the Plate Holding Forceps, avoid the tendons and avoid applying excessive pressure.

Note: Prior to sterilization of the Plate Holding Forceps, Soft Lock, add one drop of DePuy Synthes Autoclavable Oil (519.97) to instrument joints and ratchet mechanisms.


4 Determine Screw Type

Depending on the individual case, cortex screws or Variable Angle Locking/locking Screws may be inserted. Locking or cortex screws can be used in any of the screw holes, with the exception of the nonthreaded elongated hole, if present.

The elongated hole is designed for adjustment of plate position. The elongated hole accepts cortex screws only. Leave the cortex screw slightly loose in the elongated hole while adjusting plate position, as necessary. Tighten the cortex screw once plate placement has been confirmed.

If a combination of locking and cortex screws is planned, a cortex screw should be inserted first to pull the plate to the bone. If a locking screw is inserted first, ensure that the plate is held securely to the bone, to avoid spinning the plate as the screw is locked in place.

If necessary, drill at a different angle and verify again under imaging. Avoid redrilling, especially in osteopenic bone.



A 1.0 mm Threaded Drill Guide (03.130.120) is available for use with only the 1.3 mm plates.

The drill guide allows drilling in the nominal position in the locking hole.

Use a Double Drill Guide (03.130.125, 03.130.225, or 03.130.325) to drill for cortex screws through the plate.


7 Determine Screw Length

Use the Depth Gauge (03.130.250) to determine screw length. Screw length is indicated by the black line.


See pages 32–33 for additional technique information for the Depth Gauge.



8Insert Screw

Instruments




Assemble the screwdriver shaft to the screwdriver handle.

1.3 mm and 1.5 mm Screws are inserted with a T4 STARDRIVE Screwdriver (yellow and red bands). The tip of the screwdriver is gold-colored.

2.0 mm Screws are inserted with a T6 STARDRIVE Screwdriver (blue band).

The screwdriver and screws are designed to be self-retaining. To attach the screw to the screwdriver, position the screwdriver directly in line with the screw, with no tilting.

Ensure that the screwdriver tip engages the star-shaped recess in the screw. It may be necessary to rotate the screwdriver up to a quarter turn to fully align the star-shaped screwdriver tip into the screw recess. In addition, a tactile sensation may be noticed when the screwdriver shaft is fully aligned with the screw recess. Apply firm axial pressure downwards to ensure that the screw is fully seated before removing the screw from the implant module. Remove the screw from the implant module in a straight vertical position.

Using the screwdriver, place the screw on the scale of the implant module, to confirm the length of the screw.Insert screw.


Postoperative Treatment

Postoperative treatment with locking plates or variable angle locking plates does not differ from conventional internal fixation procedures.

When inserting screws, use a two-finger tightening technique.

For Variable Angle Locking and Locking Screws, confirm screw placement and length under radiographic imaging prior to final tightening.

For Variable Angle Locking and Locking Screws, screw insertion is complete when the screw is flush to the plate.

Confirm screw position and depth under radiographic imaging.

Precaution: Avoid penetrating the articular surface.

INSERT SCREW


If removal of the implant is necessary, the following instructions are suggested.

1Preoperative Planning

To ensure that the appropriate screw removal instruments are obtained, the surgeon should have the following information before implant removal:x Implant typex Time of implantationx Material (steel, titanium)x Recess geometry and dimension of screwsx Any visible damage to the implant (eg, broken

screw shaft)

2Clean Recess

Instrument

319.39.96 Sharp Hook

Before removing screws, clean the screw recess. Free the screw recess from ingrown bone and tissue using the sharp hook to ensure the screwdriver can be fully inserted. Check the condition and the geometry of the recess of the exposed screwhead.
