Implant Overview The SMV Scientific Bone Plate and Screw System consists of non-locking plates and bone screw fasteners in a variety of lengths, diameters, and widths to accommodate different anatomic sizes of patients. The devices are provided sterile and non-sterile. All devices are manufactured from Stainless Steel per ASTM F138 The goal of any surgical intervention in fracture treatment is to restore anatomical structure and stabilize the fracture to allow a return to normal function. The SMV Bone Plate and Screw system utilizes conventional compression plates and bone screws to perform internal fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions to restore the patient to full normal function. All of the plates included in the SMV Bone Plate and Screw system are non-locking and have a series of holes and slots in which are designed to be utilized in conventional compression plating techniques. Surgical Technique Preparation and Reduction 1. Preparation Dissect down to the bone and reduce the fracture utilizing standard orthopedic instruments and techniques. Anatomical reduction techniques should be used to position the fractured bone segments for fixation. 2. Plate Selection Following fracture reduction select the SMV Bone plate that best accommodates patient anatomy and fracture pattern. SMV Bone plates are offered in various lengths, widths, and pre-contoured shapes. The proper length and configuration should be selected based on clinical principles and expertise and in compliance with the indications for use, contraindications, and warnings found in the SMV device labeling; including the information for use. 3. Contouring The SMV Bone plates may be contoured to better approximate the patient anatomy. 4. Lag Screw Insertion Prior to placing the plate for internal fixation lag screws may be used to hold length and alignment and obtain compression across the fracture site. Depending on the complexity and severity of the fracture, lag screw fixation may sufficiently stabilize the fragments for proper healing and no subsequent plate technique is required. Lag screws should be implanted utilizing standard orthopedic instruments and lag screw techniques and as described in the SMV Bone Screws surgical technique guide. Plate Placement Place the plate on the appropriate location of the fractured bone segment. The middle of the plate should be positioned over the fracture site if compression of fracture segments is desired utilizing the compression slots
in the plate. Care should be taken to ensure that an appropriate length of plate is utilized allowing for sufficient screw insertion on both sides of the fracture. The plates may be held temporarily in place with standard holding instrumentation. Further reduction can be accommodated through the plate during screw insertion. Screw Insertion 1. Neutral insertion of a bone screw fastener When placing a bone screw fastener in a neutral position the drill should be located in the center of the compression slot prior to perforating the near cortex. Once the proper location has been found drill the near and far cortices of the bone with the appropriately sized drill bit. The drill bit diameter is determined by the core diameter of the screw. Insert a depth gauge into the hole which was drilled. Use the depth gauge to measure the length of the hole which was drilled to determine the desired length of the screw that will be inserted. When utilizing screws that do not have the self-tapping cutting flutes use the appropriately sized tap to prepare the bone for screw insertion. When using the self-tapping screws, tapping is not required in most instances. Identify the screwdriver in the orthopedic set. Attach the appropriately sized screw to the correct screw driver. Advance the screw by turning the screwdriver clockwise until the screw is firmly seated in the bone. Do not use excessive force as the screw threads may strip eliminating fixation in the bone. 2. Dynamic Compression using a bone screw fastener When using a bone screw fastener to apply axial compression to the fracture the drill should be located eccentrically in the compression slot on the side of the slot farthest from the fracture prior to perforating the near cortex. Once the proper location has been found drill the near and far cortices of the bone with the appropriately sized drill bit. The drill bit diameter is determined by the core diameter of the screw. Insert a depth gauge into the hole which was drilled. Use the depth gauge to measure the length of the hole which was drilled to determine the desired length of the screw that will be inserted. When utilizing screws that do not have the self-tapping cutting flutes use the appropriately sized tap to prepare the bone for screw insertion. When using the self-tapping screws, tapping is not required in most instances. Identify the screwdriver in the orthopedic set. Attach the appropriately sized screw to the correct screw driver. Advance the screw by turning the screwdriver clockwise until the screw is firmly seated in the bone. Do not use excessive force as the screw threads may strip eliminating fixation in the bone. Tightening of the bone screw fastener will result in dynamic compression of the fracture as the screw head travels along the compression feature in the slots.
Removal To remove the SMV Bone plate and screw, utilize the correct screwdriver and turn the screw in a counter-clockwise direction until the screw is completely removed from the plate. Once all of the screws have been removed from the bone the plate can also be removed from the bone and disposed of according to the device labeling.
