6 Indications The Mandible External Fixator II is intended to stabilize and provide treatment for fractures of the maxillofacial area, including: Severe open mandibular fractures Highly comminuted closed fractures Nonunions and delayed unions (especially associated with infection) Fractures associated with infection Tumor resections Facial deformity corrections Gunshot wounds Panfacial fractures Burn maintenance Bone grafting defects Photo courtesy of Daniel Buchbinder, DMD, MD Chief, Division of Maxillofacial Surgery, Continuum Cancer Centers of New York Mandible External Fixator II Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 5

7 MRI Safety Information Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that the Mandible External Fixator is MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions: Static magnetic field of 1.5 or 3 Tesla (T) Maximum spatial gradient field of 2,410 Gauss/cm (24.1 T/m) Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2 W/kg (at Normal Operating Mode) Do not place any radio frequency (RF) transmit coils over the external fixation frame All components of the Mandible External Fixator must be properly identified as MR Conditional Under the scan conditions defined above, the Mandible External Fixator is expected to produce a maximum temperature rise of less than 2 C after 15 minutes of continuous scanning. 6 DePuy Synthes Mandible External Fixator II Surgical Technique

8 Fixation Using Schanz Screws Special Note: The Mandible External Fixator II offers the option of using an adjustable parallel pin clamp with two Kirschner wires for fragments that are too small to accept two Schanz screws, eg, as in the condylar region. If the patient presents with such a fragment, consult Fixation Using Kirschner Wires on page 20 for proper technique. 1 Patient preparation Place the patient in maxillomandibular fixation when appropriate. 2 Identify appropriate rods Identify the appropriate rod or combination of rods for fixation. In most cases, the pre-bent rods will not need additional contouring. If contouring is needed, follow steps 3 4, otherwise proceed to step 5. 3 Contour the rod template Instrument Rod Template Contour the rod template to match the patient s bony anatomy. Precaution: The rod should be positioned approximately one fingerbreadth away from the patient s skin, evenly throughout the entire length of the rod. Mandible External Fixator II Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 7

9 Fixation Using Schanz Screws 4 Contour the rod(s) Instrument mm Rod Bender Using the 4.0 mm rod bender, contour the selected pre-bent rod to match the rod template. Increase bend Decrease bend 5 Verify fit and screw location Verify the fit of the pre-bent rod on the patient. Identify the desired Schanz screw locations for the first and last screw (furthest from the defect on the proximal and distal side) and mark accordingly. Note: A minimum of two Schanz screws per segment (two screws in greatest segment and two in other segments) is recommended to ensure adequate stability. Optimal location of Schanz screws will place one screw 10 mm distal and another screw 10 mm proximal to the defect. 8 DePuy Synthes Mandible External Fixator II Surgical Technique

10 Fixation Using Schanz Screws 6 Make small stab incision Prepare for Schanz screw insertion by making a small stab incision at the first marked screw location. 7 Dissect soft tissue Instruments mm Obturator Drill Guide/Cannula Drill Sleeve Handle Thread the cannula into the drill sleeve handle. Insert the 4.0 mm obturator into the handle/cannula assembly. Bluntly dissect the soft tissue and pass the cannula and obturator through the stab incision to the bone. Remove the obturator, leaving the cannula in place. Mandible External Fixator II Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 9

11 Fixation Using Schanz Screws 8 Implant Schanz screw Instrument Schanz Screw Rapid Driver Select the appropriate anatomic Schanz screw. The anatomic Schanz screws are self-drilling, but if predrilling is desired, refer to the optional technique on pages Secure the rapid driver into the Jacobs chuck of a power drill, then load the anatomic Schanz screw into the rapid driver. Using the cannula as a guide, drive the Schanz screw into the mandible down to the stop. Pull on the drill to disengage the rapid driver from the implanted Schanz screw. Note: DePuy Synthes recommends using the Compact Air Drive II or an equivalent drill with an operating speed of approximately 900 RPM. Precautions: Drill speed rate should never exceed 1,800 rpm, particularly in dense, hard bone. Higher drill speed rates can result in: thermal necrosis of the bone, soft tissue burns, an oversized hole, which can lead to reduced pullout force, increased ease of the screws stripping in bone, suboptimal fixation, and/or the need for emergency screws. Always irrigate during drilling to avoid thermal damage to the bone. Irrigate and apply suction for removal of debris potentially generated during implantation or removal. Handle devices with care and dispose of worn bone cutting instruments in an approved sharps container. Warning: Instruments and screws may have sharp edges or moving joints that may pinch or tear user s glove or skin. 10 DePuy Synthes Mandible External Fixator II Surgical Technique
