AO PRINCIPLES

In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation1, 2.

2 Rüedi TP, RE Buckley, CG Moran. AO Principles of Fracture Management. 2nd ed. Stuttgart, New York: Thieme. 2007.

Anatomic reductionFracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships.

Early, active mobilizationEarly and safe mobilization and rehabilitation of the injured part and the patient as a whole.

Stable fixationFracture fixation providing abso-lute or relative stability, as required by the patient, the injury, and the personality of the fracture.

Preservation of blood supplyPreservation of the blood supply to soft tissues and bone by gentle reduction techniques and careful handling.

Preparation

1Plate contouring

For­the­treatment­of­juxta-articular­fractures­(distal­tibia,­­tibial­plateau,­distal­femur,­distal­humerus,­radius­etc.),­good­plate­contouring­to­the­shape­of­the­bone­is­very­important.­Only­then­satisfactory­reduction­and­adequate­stability­may­be­achieved.

Pure­titanium­has­mechanical­properties­differing­from­stain-less­steel.­Due­to­its­lower­modulus­of­elasticity,­titanium­is­more­springy.­Therefore,­titanium­plates­should­be­slightly­over-bent­to­obtain­the­desired­contour.

The­design­of­the­LC-DC­Plate­ensures­uniform­rigidity,­hence­a­continuous­curvature­after­bending.­The­plates­should­not­be­bent­beyond­the­necessary­extent.

Use­bending­pliers­or­bending­irons­for­plate­contouring.

Precautions: – Avoid­repeated­bending.­ – Sharp­indentations­on­the­plate­surface,­especially­around­the­plate­holes,­may­impair­resistance­to­fatigue­and­should­be­avoided.

– Reverse­bending­or­use­of­the­incorrect­instrumentation­for­bending­may­weaken­the­plate­and­lead­to­premature­plate­failure­(e.g.­breakage).­Do­not­bend­the­plate­be-yond­what­is­required­to­match­the­anatomy.

– Instruments­and­screws­may­have­sharp­edges­or­moving­joints­that­may­pinch­or­tear­user’s­glove­or­skin.

– Handle­devices­with­care­and­dispose­worn­bone­cutting­instruments­in­an­approved­sharps­container.
