3 USS Variable Axis Screw (VAS) System Designed to restore lordosis Variable axis head offers ±25 of angulation for minimal rod contouring Precontoured rods designed to mimic spinal curvature Permits sagittal and lateral screw offset and reduces the need to contour the rod precisely Technique permits posterior compression Provides stable internal fixation Dual core screw design creates rigid fixation by engagement of cortical threads within the pedicle and cancellous threads inside the vertebral body Rounded, blunt screw tip design allows bicortical fixation 2 Synthes Spine USS Variable Axis Screw (VAS) System

4 Provides optimal environment Variable axis head offers ±25 of angulation to provide optimal rod placement and simplify construct assembly Uses atraumatic technique Preassembled head reduces operative time and minimizes trauma to patient Double-lead thread increases speed of screw insertion for 5.2 mm, 6.2 mm, and 7.0 mm screws Synthes Spine 3

5 AO Principles In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation. 1 They are: Anatomical reduction Stable internal fixation Preservation of blood supply Early, active mobilization The fundamental aims of fracture treatment in the limbs and fusion of the spine are the same. A specific goal in the spine is returning as much function as possible to the injured neural elements. 2 AO Principles as Applied to the Spine 3 Anatomic alignment Restoration of normal spinal alignment to improve the biomechanics of the spine. Stable internal fixation Stabilization of the spinal segment to promote bony fusion. Preservation of blood supply Creation of an optimal environment for fusion. Early, active mobilization Minimization of damage to the spinal vasculature, dura, and neural elements, which may contribute to pain reduction and improved function for the patient. 1. M.E.

6 Indications The Synthes USS VAS variable axis components consist of non cervical spinal fixation devices intended for use as a posterior pedicle screw fixation system (T1 S2) or as an anterolateral fixation system (T8 L5). Pedicle screw fixation is limited to skeletally mature patients, with the exception of the Small Stature USS. These devices are indicated as an adjunct to fusion for all of the following indications regardless of the intended use: Degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) Spondylolisthesis Trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation) Deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis, Scheuermann s disease) Tumor Stenosis Failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis) When treating patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD), transverse bars are not cleared for use as part of a posterior pedicle screw construct. When used with the 3.5 mm/6.0 mm parallel connectors, the USS VAS variable axis components can be linked to the CerviFix system. In addition, when used with 5.0 mm/ 6.0 mm parallel connectors, the Synthes Small Stature USS can be linked to the USS VAS variable axis components. In addition, USS VAS variable axis components can be interchanged with all USS 6.0 mm rods and transconnectors. Please refer to product insert (GP0001) for complete system description, indications, contraindications and warnings. Synthes Spine 5

7 Prepare Pedicles 1 Prepare pedicles Instruments Pedicle Reamer Pedicle Probe, for 7.0 mm, 8.0 mm and 9.0 mm screws or Probe Awl or Awl, for 8.0 mm and 9.0 mm screws Locate pedicles as described in AO ASIF Principles in Spine Surgery. 4 Use the awl to open the cortex of the pedicles to a depth of 10 mm. Continue opening the pedicles using the probe with markings at 30 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm. Determine the required lengths of the USS variable axis screws. Note: For 8.0 mm or 9.0 mm screws, use the awl for 8.0 mm and 9.0 mm screws and the pedicle probe for 7.0 mm 9.0 mm screws. To ensure mobility of the polyaxial screwhead, insert the tip of the pedicle reamer into the prepared pedicle. Use rotating movement to remove excess bone. Repeat this procedure for each pedicle. 4.

8 Insert Screws 2 Insert screws Instruments mm Hexagonal Screwdriver with T-Handle Holding Sleeve, for Screwdriver Hook or Screw Holder or Handle for Hook or Screw Holder Alternative Instruments mm Hexagonal Screwdriver Shaft Ratchet T-Handle, 6 mm hex coupling Insert screws using the 3.0 mm hexagonal screwdriver with T-handle and holding sleeve or the ratchet T-handle, 3.0 mm hexagonal screwdriver shaft and holding sleeve. Remove the selected self-tapping variable axis screw from the screw rack. Insert the screw into the prepared pedicles until the screwheads are well seated. Turn the T-handle counterclockwise one-half turn in order to ensure that the screwhead is fully flexible. Align the side opening on the screwhead to one side to receive the rod. Repeat for each screw. Note: Before inserting the rod, make sure each of the screwheads is mobile. To facilitate collar and nut placement, use the hook or screw holder. Insert one hook or screw holder into each screwhead and tighten in order to guide the collar and nut in Step 4. Alternatively, use the handle for hook and screw holder to insert the hook and screw holder. Note: The knob on the handle can be turned to tighten or loosen the screw on the hook or screw holder, or it can be pressed down to release the hook or screw holder from the handle. Synthes Spine 7

9 Insert Rods 3 Insert rods Instruments Rod Holding Forceps, for 6.0 mm rods Coated Rod Template for 6.0 mm rod, 150 mm Rod Bender, with bend radius adjustment Determine the correct rod contour and length using the coated rod template. The polyaxial mobility of the screw head aids in compensation for a lateral screw offset. Select the appropriate length 6.0 mm titanium rod and, if necessary, bend the rods using the rod bender. Insert the rods into the side-opening polyaxial screwheads using the rod holding forceps. 8 Synthes Spine USS Variable Axis Screw (VAS) System

10 Place Collars and Nuts 4 Place collars and nuts Instrument Socket Wrench with straight handle Load a collar and a nut directly onto a loading post in the tray. Align the socket wrench with straight handle directly over the loading post and press down until the nut and collar are secured in the wrench. Place the loaded wrench over the hook or screw holder and onto the screwhead. Hand-tighten nuts to hold the rod, while allowing some movement for final adjustments. Note: For constructs with more than two screws on each side, start with the medial screwhead. Repeat for all remaining screws. Although the rods are now secured in the side opening, the screwheads remain mobile. Synthes Spine 9

11 Apply Distraction or Compression 5 Apply distraction or compression (optional) Instruments Distraction Forceps, curved Compression Forceps Distraction or compression with variable axis screws is possible only before the nuts have been tightened. To distract, use the distraction forceps and then tighten the nuts as described in Step 6. To achieve compression, use the compression forceps and then tighten the nuts as described in Step Synthes Spine USS Variable Axis Screw (VAS) System

12 Tighten Nuts 6 Tighten nuts Instruments Socket Wrench with L-Handle Nm Torque Wrench Internal Counter Torque Alternative Instruments Socket Wrench with straight handle Hook or Screw Holder Each nut can be tightened using the socket wrench with L-handle. Either the internal counter torque or the socket wrench with straight handle and a hook or screw holder can be used for countertorque. Tightening method using the internal counter torque Insert the internal counter torque into the socket wrench with L-handle. Hold the internal counter torque stationary and turn the socket wrench with L-handle to secure the nut. This reduces the torque on the bone while tightening the nut. Synthes Spine 11

13 Tighten Nuts continued 6 Tighten nuts continued Tightening method using socket wrench with straight handle for countertorque Place the socket wrench with L-handle over the hook or screw holder and insert the socket wrench with straight handle. Hold the socket wrench with straight handle stationary and turn the socket wrench with L-handle to secure the nut. This reduces the torque on the bone while tightening the nut. Note: Any distraction or compression maneuvers must be completed before tightening. 12 Synthes Spine USS Variable Axis Screw (VAS) System

14 The 10 Nm torque wrench must be used for the final construct tightening Before final tightening, check that the rod is properly positioned in the USS VAS screw. Place the 10 Nm torque wrench over the nut. Insert the internal counter torque into the 10 Nm torque wrench. Hold the internal counter torque stationary while turning the 10 Nm torque wrench. The wrench will click at the preset torque of 10 Nm. Synthes Spine 13

15 Optional Techniques Adding transconnectors Instruments Long Small Hexagonal Screwdriver Measuring Template, for Low Profile Transconnectors The low profile transconnector is designed to be used as a construct stabilizer to reduce rotation. Use the measuring template for low profile transconnectors to measure the distance between the two rods. Choose a transconnector of the appropriate length. With the transconnector setscrews loosened, apply it to the rods. Use the long small hexagonal screwdriver to secure the trans con - nector to the rods by tightening the setscrews on each end. Note: For transconnectors with stargrind, tighten the stargrind setscrew to lock the angle between the rods. When using an adjustable length transconnector, adjust the distance between the rods, if desired, by compressing or distracting; then tighten the center setscrew on the rotating shaft using the long small hexagonal screwdriver. Note: If any part of the construct requires further adjustment, all transconnector setscrews must be loosened. After final adjustment, retighten the setscrews. 14 Synthes Spine USS Variable Axis Screw (VAS) System

16 Remobilization Instrument Locking Ring Extractor Remove the nut, collar, and rod from the construct. Prior to remobilization using the locking ring extractor, loosen the pusher by turning the T-handle counterclockwise to the marked thread and move the tube back. Slide the slotted part of the extractor over the cam of the screwhead s locking ring and push the tube down. Slowly turn the T-handle clockwise until resistance is encountered. Continue turning until the screwhead is remobilized. Caution: Further turning of the T-handle will cause removal of the locking ring from the construct. If the locking ring is removed, the variable axis screw must be removed and replaced. Synthes Spine 15
