Controlled K-Wire insertion through Facet Opener allowing guided surgical technique. Combined implant holder and screw guide leads to short OR time. The save surgical technique comprises following advantages: Atraumatic transmuscular approach Treatment of affected segment only Minimal exposure of radiation Less complication risks (stay away from dangerous structures such as nerves/vessels) Optimal fusion conditions through instruments for facet joint preparation and implant perforations. Synthes FACET WEDGE Technique Guide 5/44
6 AO Principles In 958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation., They are: Anatomic reduction Fracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships. Stable fixation Stability by fixation or splintage, as the personality of the fracture and the injury requires. Preservation of blood supply Preservation of the blood supply to soft tissue and bone by careful handling. Early, active mobilization Early, active mobilization of the part and patient.

7 Indications (and Contraindications) FACET WEDGE is intended for the fixation of the spine as an aid to fusion through immobilization of the facet joints, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels, from L to S. FACET WEDGE can be inserted minimal invasively either to augment other fusion techniques or as a stand-alone device for cases without segmental instability. Indications: Degenerative disc disease Degenerative facet joint disease (isolated facet based symptomatic back pain) Pseudarthrosis post anterior instrumentation Contraindications: In case of segmental instability, FACET WEDGE must be applied in combination with additional fixation Unilateral application, except in combination with pedicle screw fixation on the contralateral side Decompression techniques compromising the facets Spondylolisthesis Fracture or other instabilities of the posterior elements Tumor Acute or chronic systemic or localized spinal infections Synthes FACET WEDGE Technique Guide 7/44
