4.0 mm Screw Surgical Technique

6 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 4.0 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a tibia plateau fracture. Step 1: Preoperative Radiographic Fracture Assessment and Planning Assess the fracture pattern using radiographs and possibly a CT scan. Determine the appropriate type of fixation to repair the fracture and evaluate the need for Bone Substitute Material (BSM). Step 2: Intraoperative Fracture Assessment and Reduction Assess the fracture utilizing fluoroscopy and/or direct visualization. Reduce the fracture and elevate any central depression to reduce the articular fracture components. Provisionally stabilize the fracture as necessary with K-Wires and/or clamps. Step 3: K-Wire Placement Insert the K-Wire Guide (IN018-3) into the Drill Guide (IN018-2). Using the combined Guides (IN018-3, IN018-2), place the 1.4 mm K-Wires (IN021-1) parallel to the joint line or in the surgeon s desired position for the N-Force Screw.

7 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique Step 4: Drilling of the Lateral Cortex Remove the K-Wire Guide (IN018-3), leaving the Drill Guide (IN018-2) in place. Drill lateral cortex with the 2.7 mm Cannulated Drill (IN017-1) over the K-Wire (IN021-1), leaving the K-Wire in place. TECHNIQUE TIP: For fracture stability and K-Wire fixation, sequential drilling and Screw insertion is recommended. TECHNIQUE VARIATION: Use Tissue Protector (IN022-1) for percutaneous insertion of the N-Force Screw. Step 5: Length Measurement After confirming with C-arm Fluoroscopy that the 1.4 mm K-Wires (IN021-1) are in the correct position, remove the Drill Guide (IN018-2) and measure each K-Wire using the Depth Gauge (IN015-1). Use the measurement obtained to select the appropriate length N-Force Screw. 50 mm 50 mm 50 mm 50 mm 10 mm~13 mm (The first fenestration from the head depends on the length of the screw) 5 mm 5 mm

8 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 4.0 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a tibia plateau fracture. Step 6: Assemble Sheath and Screw Assemble the Sheath (IN048-FS) (the Sheath Adapter Assembly is made up of an outer Sheath and an inner Sheath Adapter) onto the selected N-Force Screw by turning the Sheath clockwise onto the threaded head of the N-Force Screw and advance the Sheath until it fully covers the head of the Screw. TECHNIQUE VARIATION: A 4.0 mm Inset Washer (IN043-1) may be used and requires the use of the Inset Countersink (IN041-1). If an Inset Washer (IN043-1) is used, place Washer over the Screw before insertion. Step 7: Attach the Cannulated Hex-Driver Assemble the Driver Handle (IN023-1) and the Cannulated Hex-Driver (IN008-1) using the AO Quick Connect. Insert the Driver Assembly into the Sheath (IN048-FS) and engage the Screw head with the Cannulated Hex-Driver (IN008-1). TECHNIQUE VARIATION: For bi-cortical fixation and to limit BSM extrusion from the tip of the Screw into the soft tissue, an N-Force Fixation System Partially Cannulated Screw is recommended. To use this method, remove the K-Wire (IN021-1) and insert the correct size Partially Cannulated Screw. Drive into the predrilled hole using the Solid Hex- Driver (IN002-1) for insertion until the tip of the sheath (IN048-FS) is flush with the cortex. Skip to step 10.

9 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique Step 8: Insert N-Force Screw Place Screw/Sheath assembly over the K-Wire (IN021-1) and drive the N-Force Screw until the tip of the Sheath (IN048-FS) is flush with the cortex. CAUTION: If Sheath (IN048-FS) is not flush with the cortex, BSM may leak around the bone/sheath interface. Step 9: Remove Hex-Driver and K-Wire Remove the Cannulated Hex-Driver (IN008-1) and K-Wire (IN021-1) from the Screw/Sheath assembly.

10 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 4.0 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a tibia plateau fracture. Step 10: Mix Bone Substitute Material and Attach BSM Delivery System Insert the Sheath Adapter into the Sheath (IN048-FS) and turn clockwise to lock. Attach the BSM Delivery System to the Sheath Adapter. Inject the BSM. Use fluoroscopy to monitor the BSM as it fills the defect. Up to 5.0cc can be injected through each Screw to fill the void per surgeon s discretion. Remove the BSM Delivery System and the Sheath Adapter (IN048-FS) from the Sheath (IN048-FS). Refer to the N-Force Blue or in3 Technique Manual for mixing instructions. TECHNIQUE TIP: The amount of BSM may vary depending on the size of the defect and the anatomic area. N-Force Screws are intended for single injection. If further filling of the defect is required, insertion of additional N-Force Screws may be necessary. CAUTION: Extrusion of BSM beyond the intended application site may irritate surrounding tissue. Remove any excess BSM before wound closure.

11 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique Step 11: Remove the Sheath Insert the Solid Hex-Driver (IN002-1) into the Sheath (IN048-FS) and engage the head of the Screw. Turn the Sheath (IN048-FS) counterclockwise and disconnect from the Screw head. Slide the Sheath (IN048-FS) up the shaft of the Solid Hex-Driver (IN002-1). CAUTION: Do NOT use the Cannulated Hex-Driver (IN008-1) to remove the sheath or to seat the Screw as it may fill with the BSM and possibly clog the instrument. Step 12: Fully seat the N-Force Screw With the Solid Hex-Driver (IN002-1) engaged into the head of the Screw, seat the Screw down to make flush with the cortex of the bone. Remove the Solid Hex- Driver (IN002-1) and Sheath (IN048-FS). Typically, 1 3 Screws are used to stabilize the fracture and inject the BSM.

7.3 mm Screw Surgical Technique

14 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 7.3 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a femoral neck fracture. Step 1: Reduce Fracture and Surgical Approach Reduce the fracture and make an incision of approximately 6 cm. Step 2: Position and Insert Guide Pin Position the Multi-Hole Pin Guide (IN045-1) on the femur. The Multi-Hole Pin Guide (IN045-1) contains an anterior hole that may be used with a Guide Pin (IN034-1) to assess possible femoral neck anteversion/ retroversion and allows for placement of pins in an inverted triangle. Pin placement in an inverted triangle.

15 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique Step 3: Assemble Multi-Hole Pin Guide Use of Multi-Hole Pin Guide (IN045-1) gives adequate spacing between Screws for use of Washers. Insert both Pin Guides (IN030-3) in the proximal positions of the Multi-Hole Pin Guide (IN045-1). TIP: If the Surgeon chooses to skip the Multi-Hole Pin Guide and use the individual Pin Guide/Drill Guide, the surgeon should carefully consider the placement of the screws and washers to avoid any overlapping of the washers and to limit any extrusion of the BSM at the cortical interface. Step 4: Insert Guide Pins Starting point of the inferior Guide Pin (IN034-1) should be proximal to the lesser trochanter. The inferior screw guide pin should be just above the calcar. This allows for more room to place the two superior screws in the neck. Insert the inferior Guide Pin. Insert additional Guide Pins (IN034-1) with tip of pins ending 5 10 mm from the subchondral bone, as needed. Remove the Multi-Hole Pin Guide (IN045-1). CAUTION: Ensure that the Guide Pins do not penetrate the joint. Step 5: Length Measurement Slide the Drill Guide (IN030-2) over the Guide Pin (IN034-1). The Depth Gauge (IN033-1) must be used with Drill Guide (IN030-2). Use the Depth Gauge (IN033-1) to measure the length of the Screw needed. Measured length corresponds to the tip of Guide Pin (IN034-1). TECHNIQUE TIP: Modification of the Screw length may be necessary based on the use and type of Washer, if used. See page 19. TIP: The use of washers are encouraged for all femoral neck fractures.

16 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 7.3 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a femoral neck fracture. Step 6: Drilling Use the Drill Guide (IN030-2) and predrill the measured length with the 5.5 mm Drill (IN032-1). C-arm fluoroscopy is recommended to help avoid over-drilling or advancement of the Guide Pin (IN034-1) into the joint. Sequential drilling and Screw insertion is recommended for fracture stability. TIP: Predrilling is required. The fenestrated screws are self-tapping but not self-drilling. This is to limit the risk of penetrating through the femoral neck during screw insertion. TECHNIQUE TIP: If desired, a Hall-Jacobs adapter (IN036-1) can be used with the 5.5 mm Drill (IN032-1). NOTE: Use of Fenestrated and Non-Fenestrated Screws is based on the quality of bone and preference of the surgeon. Use of the Fenestrated Screw allows for injection of Bone Substitute Material (BSM) for augmented fixation. NOTE: The following technique is the suggested configuration. Use a Non-Fenestrated Screw with a Standard Washer for compression at the inferior position. Use two Fenestrated Screws in the superior-anterior and superior-posterior position with Inset Washers.

17 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique Step 7: Insert N-Force Non-Fenestrated Screw Assemble the Driver Handle (IN035-1) and the Driver (IN031-1) using the Quick Connect and engage the head of the Screw. Place Screw and Standard Washer (IN039-1) over Guide Pin (IN034-1) and drive the N-Force Screw across the fracture, gaining compression of the fracture site. TECHNIQUE TIP: Release traction on the leg prior to final compression with the Screws. Step 8: Drilling and Countersink for N-Force Fenestrated Screw A 7.3 Inset Washer (IN044-1) is recommended with use of the N-Force Fenestrated Screw. This requires the use of the Countersink (IN042-1). Use the Drill Guide (IN030-2) and predrill the measured length with the 5.5 mm Drill (IN032-1). C-arm fluoroscopy is recommended to help avoid over-drilling or advancement of the Guide Pin (IN034-1) into the joint. Remove the Drill Guide (IN030-2) and countersink the lateral cortex. Step 9: Assemble Sheath and Fenestrated Screw Assemble the Sheath (IN028-FS) (Sheath Adapter Assembly is made up of an outer Sheath and an inner Sheath Adapter) onto the selected N-Force Fenestrated Screw by turning the Sheath (IN028-FS) clockwise onto the threaded head of the N-Force Screw and advance the Sheath (IN028-FS) until it stops. Step 10: Attach the Driver Insert the Driver (IN031-1) into the Sheath (IN028-FS) and engage the Screw head. If a Washer is used, place the desired Washer over the Screw before insertion.

18 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 7.3 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a femoral neck fracture. Step 11: Insert N-Force Fenestrated Screw Place Screw/Sheath assembly over the Guide Pin (IN034-1) and drive the N-Force Screw until the Sheath (IN028-FS) and Washer are flush with cortex. CAUTION: To prevent the Sheath from disengaging from the Screw, do not hold the Sheath when advancing the Screw. Step 12: Remove Driver and Guide Pins Remove the Driver (IN031-1) and Guide Pin (IN034-1) from the Screw/Sheath assembly. CAUTION: Make sure the Sheaths (IN028-FS) are fully engaged on the head of Screw.

19 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique Step 13: Insert Sheath Adapter, Mix BSM, Attach BSM Delivery System Insert the Sheath Adapter (IN028-FS) into the Sheath (IN028-FS) and turn clockwise to lock. Attach the BSM Delivery System to the Sheath Adapter (IN028-FS). Inject the BSM. Use fluoroscopy to monitor flow of BSM. Refer to the N-Force Blue or in3 Bone Substitute Material Technique Manual for mixing instructions. TECHNIQUE TIP: Injection of 10cc of BSM is recommended in the anterior-superior Screw. Further injection of the posterior-superior screw is per the surgeon s discretion. The amount of BSM may vary depending on the anatomic area of the fracture and/or the existence and size of a bony defect. N-Force Screws are optimized for single injection. If further filling of a defect is required, insertion of additional N-Force Screws may be necessary. CAUTION: Extrusion of BSM beyond the intended application site may irritate surrounding tissue. Remove any excess BSM before wound closure. If BSM is seen reaching the fracture sight under fluoroscopy, stop injecting. If a screw is riding the cortex, do not inject that screw or BSM may extrude out the fracture site. If a screw is not fully in the bone, do not inject the screw.

20 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 7.3 mm Screw Surgical Technique The following surgical technique is explained using the example of a femoral neck fracture. Step 14: Remove Sheath Remove the Sheath Adapter (IN028-FS) from the Sheath (IN028-FS) by turning counterclockwise. Assemble the Driver (IN031-1) onto the Driver Handle (IN035-1). Insert the Driver (IN031-1) through the Sheath (IN028-FS) and engage the head of the Screw. Remove the Sheath (IN028-FS) from the head of the Screw by turning Sheath (IN028-FS) counterclockwise. Step 15: Fully Seat the N-Force Fenestrated Screws Seat the Screw down to make flush with the cortex or the Washer. Remove the Driver (IN031-1).

21 N-Force Fixation System Surgical Technique 7.3 mm Screw/Washer Combinations The illustration demonstrates the effect of the final Screw length based on the measured length from the Depth Gauge and the head prominence depending on the Screw/Washer combination. This provides the necessary Screw length adjustment if Washers are used.
