Low Profile Neuro PLATING SYSTEM Introduction The aim of surgical fracture treatment is to reconstruct the bony anatomy and restore its function. According to the AO, internal fixation is distinguished by precise reduction, stable fixation, preservation of blood supply, and early mobilization 1. Plate and screw osteosynthesis has been established and clinically recognized for some time. The Low Profile Neuro Plating System is a cranial closure system that features low plate/screw profile, wide variety of implants, and modular storage options. Warnings: Not intended for use in patients who are not yet skeletally mature. Resorbable fixation products should be considered as an alternative. These devices can break during use (when subjected to excessive forces or outside the recommended surgical technique). While the surgeon must make the final decision on removal of the broken part based on associated risk in doing so, we recommend that whenever possible and practical for the individual patient, the broken part should be removed. Precaution: Surgical implants must never be reused. An explanted metal implant must never be reimplanted. Even though the device appears undamaged, it may have small defects and internal stress patterns which could lead to breakage. MR information The Low Profile Neuro Plating System has not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. The Low Profile Neuro Plating System has not been tested for heating or migration in the MR environment. 1. müller ME, Allgöwer M, Schneider R, Willenegger H.

Surgical Technique 1 Select implant Select the appropriate implants depending on use. The Low Profile Neuro Plating System contains a wide variety of plates, burr hole covers, mesh, and screws. Precaution: When using plates, ensure countersink holes are facing upward. 2 Size implant (if required) Instruments 391.952 Mesh Cutter Implants may be cut and sized to match the patient anatomy. Replace worn or damaged cutting instruments if the cutting function is not adequate. Precaution: Cut the implant close to the edge of the screw holes to protect soft tissue from trimmed edges.

surgical Technique 3 Contour implant (if required) Instruments 329.14 universal bending Pliers (two required) The implant can be contoured to match the patient s anatomy. Precaution: Excessive and repetitive bending of the implant increases the risk of implant breakage. 4 Position implant Instruments 348.98 Plate holding forceps, locking Position the implant on the desired location using the appropriate plate holder. 1 DePuy Synthes CMF Low Profle Neuro Plating System Surgical Technique

Always irrigate during drilling. Handle devices with care and dispose worn bone cutting instruments in a sharps container. 6 Secure implant Instruments 313.931 low Profile neuro Cruciform screwdriver blade, hex coupling, self-retaining, short 313.932 low Profile neuro Cruciform screwdriver blade, hex coupling, self-retaining, medium 311.005 screwdriver handle, hex coupling, small 311.006 screwdriver handle, hex coupling, medium 311.007 screwdriver handle, hex coupling, large To load the screw onto the blade, place the blade perpendicular to the screw in the module and fully insert the blade into the screw recess. The screw should be securely attached to the blade. Low Profle Neuro Plating System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes CMF 1

Surgical Technique For optimal plate/screw profile, insert the screw perpendicular to the plate/bone in the appropriate plate hole. If the screw does not obtain purchase, replace it with a blue Low Profile Neuro emergency screw of the same length. Screwdriver shafts are self-retaining. Replace screwdriver shafts if they are worn or damaged, or if retention is not adequate. 8 DePuy Synthes CMF Low Profile Neuro Plating System Surgical Technique

Surgical Technique Technique Tip Secure the implants to the bone flap before positioning the bone flap on the patient. 1 1. Secure the desired plates to bone flap. 2. Position the bone flap. 3. Secure the plates to the skull. In order to determine the appropriate amount of fixation for stability, the surgeon should consider the size and shape of a fracture or osteotomy. DePuy Synthes CMF recommends at least three plates when repairing osteotomies. Additional fixation is recommended to ensure stability of large fractures and osteotomies. When using mesh for larger defects, additional screws for fixation are recommended. 2 Precaution: After implant placement is complete, discard any fragments or modified parts in an approved sharps container. Irrigate and apply suction for removal of debris potentially generated during implantation. 3 Low Profile Neuro Plating System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes CMF 9
