3 Introduction The OptiLock Periarticular Plating System (OPPS) utilizes unique patent pending SphereLock technology. This advanced implant/instrumentation design allows for effective and efficient anatomic fixation of distal femoral fractures. The OptiLock Periarticular Plating System offers both left and right distal lateral femoral pre-contoured, titanium alloy plates for optimizing fixation of simple and complex condylar fractures of the femur. Lateral Plates The anatomically contoured distal lateral femoral plate is available in 3-hole increments from 3 to 18 holes, ranging from mm in length for right and left distal femurs. For easy recognition, the left distal lateral plates are colored light blue and the right plates are colored gold. Complete anatomic restoration is facilitated through precise anatomic contouring, multiple bone screw options, and proper plate positioning on the lateral aspect of the distal femur. 1

4 Introduction (Continued) Locking Bone Screws A unique, patent pending aspect of the OptiLock Periarticular Plating System is application of either locking or non-locking bone screws through any threaded hole of the plates. By design, the screw head for each diameter screw is seated virtually flush to the plate surface. This allows for maximum flexibility in choice of screw diameter with minimal hardware prominence, which minimizes potential for irritation or impingement of soft tissue. The 3.5mm locking bone screws range in lengths from 10mm 95mm mm in 2.0mm increments 20-40mm in 4.0mm increments The 5.0mm self-drilling locking bone screws are available in 14mm, 18mm, 26mm, 40mm and 55 85mm in 10mm increments. 14mm (Flat nose only) 18mm (Flat nose and self-drilling) 26mm 40mm in 10mm increments The 5.5mm self-drilling cannulated locking bone screws range in length from 25 95mm in 5.0mm increments for precise application over a 2.0mm x 25cm K-wire. The 5.5mm outer diameter size may be considered ideal for a metaphyseal application in the distal femur mm in 5.0mm increments The 4.5mm locking bone screws range in lengths from 14mm 95mm mm in 2.0mm increments 20-40mm in 4.0mm increments 40-95mm in 5.0mm increments 2

5 Non-Locking Bone Screws The 3.5mm non-locking bone screws range in lengths from 8.0mm 95mm. 5.5mm Non-locking 5.5mm Locking 8-60mm in 2.0mm increments 60 95mm in 5.0mm increments 5.0mm Locking, Self-Drilling The 4.5mm non-locking bone screws range in lengths from 14mm 95mm mm in 2.0mm increments 60-95mm in 5.0mm increments The 5.5mm self-drilling cannulated non-locking bone screws range in length from 40 95mm in 5.0mm increments for precise application over a 2.0mm x 25cm K-wire. 4.5mm Non-Locking 4.5mm Locking 3.5mm Locking 3.5mm Non-Locking With a wide variety of sizes of locking and non-locking bone screws and locking bone screw trajectories, the OptiLock Periarticular Plating System sets a new standard for internal fixation of distal femoral fractures, effectively meeting the discriminating preferences of surgeons to produce desired patient outcomes. 3

9 Design Features Providing Optimized Solutions For A Variety Of Distal Femoral Fractures Lateral plates are composed of titanium alloy and offer strength and anatomic contouring for application to the distal femur. Color-coded implants and instruments make the OptiLock Periarticular Plating System easy to use, which enable intraoperative efficiencies. Patent Pending SphereLock Technology Staggered plate holes promote increased stability and greater protection against screw pullout. Locking bone screw trajectories produce rafting support of subchondral bone with combined Truss load sharing bone screws to protect from varus collapse Double radius of curvature r 1 = 2.41m and at hole #11, r 2 =.76m incorporated into 15 and 18-hole plate designs to aid in proper anatomic restoration Wide variety of bone screw sizes (2.0, 2.7, 3.5, 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5mm) Locking and non-locking bone screw types Patent pending slotted carbon figer jig may be used independent of its head for an accurate, intraoperatively efficient minimal invasive approach to distal femoral plate application. 7

10 Surgical Technique STEP 1: Patient Positioning Standard Approach Minimal invasive Approach: Lateral Plate The patient should be placed in the supine position on a radiolucent table. A wedge pillow or prop of the surgeon s choice will suffice to raise the affected leg above the contralateral side, providing a position for a good lateral x-ray. Confirm that unobstructed anterior-posterior and lateral radiographic images are obtainable. Prep and drape in the usual orthopedic fashion with the appropriate lower extremity exposed. If temporary external fixation was not previously applied, then use manual traction or skeletal distraction (ligamentotaxis) to obtain gross metaphyseal alignment. Full Jig Application: A minimal invasive approach is made possible with provision of a radiolucent targeting jig. The head of the jig seats and locks to the metaphyseal head of the plate with soft tissue and drill guides, which can be affixed to both the head and tail of the jig for optimized and reproducible bone screw targeting accuracy. NOTE: Make sure all connections are all hand tight with screwdriver after initial alignment has been obtained. C B A F E D H G Truss Locking Bone Screw Holes 8

11 I. After removing cap from the lock wire guide jig (Cat. # 26928), thread the shaft into screw hole D, which has three dimples surrounding it. II. Insert lock wire guide jig into the corresponding jig head hole identified in he middle of the jig head pins (hole D). III. Thread cap of lock wire guide jig back on to the shaft and tighten down using the butt end of the drill guide s long handle (Cat. # 26935). IV. To complete the assembly, align the jig tail pins with the dimples on the jig head. Jig head Pins Jig tail Pins 9

12 Surgical Technique (Continued) STEP 2: Skin Incision Standard Approach A curved or straight anterolateral incision is recommended. The initial skin incision is made mid-line at the knee, lateral parapatellar region and then perform a lateral parapatellar arthrotomy. Coagulation of any bleeders may be necessary. Proximal Jig Head Application: A less invasive approach can be performed for those cases amenable to this technique. A short, oblique incision is made just slightly distal to the lateral condyle and extended proximally 8cm. Exposure of the lateral surface of the distal femur is performed with a periosteal elevator. The knee joint can be exposed, if needed, via a minimal dissection and sub-meniscal arthrotomy where needed. The proximal targeting is minimally invasive with the use of the OptiLock jig in a periosteal sparing approach. The distal aspect of the jig locks to the metaphyseal head of the plate. With this setup preoperatively and under fluoroscopic image guidance, the outrigger locking guide can be percutaneously inserted and locked with minimal soft tissue dissection for proximal interlocking. STEP 3: Standard Approach Reduction And External Fixation Prior to reducing the articular surface, external fixation may be applied to help facilitate visualization and reduction of the joint. In the case of open fractures, external fixation - such as a Pin-to-Bar fixator may already have been applied to allow for treatment of soft tissue trauma. Low profiling jig head allows surgeons to easily identify locked screw trajectories for efficient locked drill guide application to plate. NOTE: The low profile jig head is designed to be slightly loose, even after the tightening the constrained bolt to the plate. This does not adversely affect application. 10

13 Articular Reduction STEP 4: Preliminary Plate Position In displaced intraarticular fractures, the priority of reducing the articular surface must occur before periarticular plate application. This may be accomplished by temporarily securing articular fragments with reduction forceps and/or by applying K-wires (2.0mm x 250mm) Cat. # threaded or Cat. # Non-threaded. Determine the appropriate length of the distal femoral plate via x-ray measurement or by inserting the plate up the lateral side of the femur, using it as a template and checking length radiographically. Provisionally apply a K-wire through the distal hole in the center of the head of the plate, parallel to the knee joint. Once temporarily reduced, 3.5mm, 4.5mm or 5.5mm non-locking bone screws may be utilized for compression independently outside of the plate as needed or be utilized within the metaphyseal head of the periarticular plate. These lag screws may be inserted through any of the threaded plate holes. Regardless of the approach, the placement of a lag screw should be based upon a preoperative plan, so that locking bone screw trajectories are avoided. Standard Approach Reduction Reduce the fracture using manual traction or skeletal distraction (ligamentotaxis) to obtain gross metaphyseal alignment. For holding reduction, apply K-wires and clamp and verify under fluoroscopic imaging. Standard Approach Reduction Holding NOTE: By using the jig head attached to the plate, this will give you a true trajectory across the condyle for the K-wire. Use the Z-1 hole. Once in good position, prepare to apply a lag screw (3.5mm non-locking screw recommended) through the very distal posterior aspect of the distal femur and verify with fluoroscopic imaging. Be certain to verify that the position does not encroach on the intracondylar notch. Over-drill the near cortex to the fracture site, then use the appropriate core diameter calibrated drill bit to drill through the opposite side of the fracture to the contralateral cortex. Apply the selected non-locking bone screw for intrafragmentary fixation. At this time, a second reduction may be applied via ligamentotaxis and provisional external fixation applied. 11

14 Surgical Technique (Continued) STEP 5: Plate Position Using specific anatomic benchmarks, mount the plate on the intact or reconstructed distal femur. Do not yet attempt to reduce the distal portion of the plate to the femoral diaphysis. If this is done, the trajectories for the proximal screws may be altered. On the lateral C-arm position (posterior aspect of the medial and lateral femoral condyles overlapping), the proper position for the plate is such that the anterior border of the plate parallels the anterior border of the femoral diaphysis. The proximal/distal location of the plate is such that the posterior proximal hole should be at the level of the lateral joint line. Based on the preoperative plan, a free hand technique can be used by taking the selected lateral distal femoral plate (usual length is 3-4 cortical screws distal to the fracture) and affix the locking drill guides into the five most proximal threaded plate holes and the truss hole. When this is done prior to insertion, the threading of the sleeves is much easier without soft tissue interference. Under power and fluoroscopic image guidance, insert a 2.0mm x 250mm K-wire through both proximal holes making sure on the lateral view the plate is aligned appropriately. Once the proximal aspect of the plate is secured, secure the distal aspect of the plate to prevent rotation. Because the OptiLock Periarticular Plating System is a multiplanar locked plate, the positioning is paramount prior to locking. Prior to proceeding, confirm the placement of the plate head to the metaphysis. The following should be confirmed under fluoroscopy. K-wires are inserted in the subchondral bone and are confirmed extra articular in planar fluoroscopy and clinical inspection (sub-meniscal arthrotomy) The plate is positioned correctly on the lateral femur by using bi-planar fluoroscopy The plate shaft is aligned with the diaphysis according to AP and lateral radiographs, which ultimately determines final flexion/extension reduction The plate is correctly positioned on the femur and is affixed to the bone using K-wires distally and proximally to keep alignment during bone screw insertion 12

15 STEP 6: Reducing Proximal Shaft To Femur STEP 7: Insert Distal Bone Screws Reduce the distal femoral component to the diaphysis by temporarily securing the plate to the femoral shaft with bone forceps. At this point, rotation of the extremity must be confirmed via clinical examination. Once acceptable rotation has been achieved, the plate must be maneuvered for compressing or distracting to the acceptable anatomic length. For complex intraarticular fracture patterns, it may not be desired or possible to anatomically reduce the fracture. Additionally, the OptiLock temporary fixation device may be used to reduce fragments. I. The plate position must be secured on the lateral aspect of the distal femur with the K-wires, prior to inserting the first bone screw. II. Advance the K-wire until it reaches the medial cortex when inserting convergent bone screws. III. If the plate inadvertently shifts from the desired position during bone screw insertion, then all guide wires must be removed and reinserted using the locking drill guides. This countermeasure enables the bone screw to easily lock into the plate threaded screw hole. Care must be taken to ensure that the distal bone screws are out of the joint. Visual inspection of multi/planar fluoroscopy is performed to ensure that locked bone screws do not angle toward or penetrate the joint. Multi-angular locking trajectories in the OptiLock distal femoral periarticular plate, offers a unique element of stability to the fracture construct. The effective pull out forces are well countered by these multi-planar locked screws The locking threaded screw holes in the central proximal aspect of the periarticular plate generate converging bone screw trajectories for improved pullout strength. When using locking bone screws longer than 60mm, it is possible that the converging bone screws may meet in the subchondral bone. Therefore, accurate determination of bone screw length is crucial. This is accomplished by sliding the depth gauge over the K-wire that extends beyond the locked drill guide. All locking bone screws should be tightened for a secure fit into the periarticular plate. A power drill combined with the torque-limiting device provided in the set may also be utilized to definitively set the screws in the plate. 13

16 Surgical Technique (Continued) STEP 8: Insert 4.5mm Bi-cortical Or 5.0mm Uni-Cortical Locking Bone Screws According to clinical requirement or to surgeon preference, 4.5mm or 5.5mm locking bone screws may be inserted into the distal threaded holes along the plate shaft. After drilling, bone screw length may be measured off of the drill bit, with the assistance of fluoroscopy and/or depth gauge. The 5.0mm self-drilling, locking bone screws may be used in diaphyseal bone, if desired or required. No drilling prior to insertion is necessary. An irrigation method requiring a Trocar, Cat. # 26929, a Soft Tissue Sleeve, Cat. # 26910, and an irrigation Cooling Cap, Cat. # Then an IV extension tubing with the end cut off and a 60cc syringe can be attached to the Cooling Cap. This can be used to irrigate the bone surface while drilling the 5.0mm screws to prevent overheating. 14

17 STEP 9: Insert Truss Locking Bone Screws Affix desired locking drill guide to the two oblique angled threaded plate holes (J&K) and drill with the corresponding 4.0mm drill bit. Measure the appropriate bone screw length under fluoroscopic image guidance, directly off of the calibrated drill bit and/or depth gauge. The purpose of the Truss bone screw is: 1. To aid in load sharing on the medial side of the metaphysis; 2. To protect from varus collapse; and 3. To resist pull out of the plate bone construct. Optional: Distal Femoral Jig Tail Only Application Retro Targeting The OptiLock Periarticular Plating System offers a retro targeting approach, whereby the carbon fiber jig tail can be used independent of the jig head. This allows for unobstructed visualization of the distal femur with freehand locking and percutaneous retro jig use for bone screw locking. Once a stab incision is made, at least two drill guides and two soft tissue guides are locked into the plate. The carbon fiber jig tail is then attached and locked into place by the soft tissue guides. Proceed with drilling and insertion of screws. Alternatively, the 4.5mm, 5.0mm, or 5.5mm locking bone screws may be used as Truss bone screws. 15
