FEATURES AND BENEFITS

MATRIXRIB

1 DePuy Synthes MatrixRIB Surgical Technique

The Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System consists of precon-toured locking plates, locking screws, and intramedullary splints for the fi xation and stabilization of ribs.

Although some rib fractures are treated with pain man-agement and bracing, as well as endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation if necessary, some patients could benefi t from surgical stabilization (osteosynthesis). Potential benefi ts of surgical stabilization of fractures include reduced duration of mechanical ventilation support, shortened ICU stays and hospitalization, better secretion management through effi cient cough, and minimized chest wall deformities resulting from trauma.1,2

AO PRINCIPLES

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

Anatomic reductionFracture reduction and fixation to restore functional anatomical relationships.

Stable fixationStability by rigid fixation or splintage, as the personality of the fracture and the injury requires.

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

Early, active mobilizationEarly and safe mobilization of the part and patient.

The Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System is indicated for the fixation and stabilization of rib fractures, fusions and osteotomies of normal and osteoporotic bone.

Warning: Medical devices containing stainless steel may elicit allergic reactions in patients with hyper-sensitivity to nickel.

INDICATIONS

PATIENT POSITIONINGPosition patientPosition the patient to optimize access to the rib to be repaired.

For pure lateral chest injuries, a lateral thoracotomy may be used with the patient in a lateral decubitus position, and the arms abducted 90° on padded arm rests.

Anterolateral chest injuries may be approached with an anterolateral thoracotomy with the patient in a supine position, with both arms abducted 90°.

PLATING RIB

6 DePuy Synthes MatrixRIB Surgical Technique

1Exposure fractured rib

Make an incision over the fracture area.

Expose the rib to allow a minimum of three screws on each side of the fracture.

Remove any nonviable bone.

Precaution: Avoid significant muscle division to pre-serve as much respiratory function as possible. The serratus anterior muscle insertions on the chest wall are generally the only muscle fibers that are divided for anterolateral injuries.

Notes:• For lateral chest wall injuries, the anterior aspect

of the latissimus dorsi can be dissected to gain access to the fracture

• Removal of the periosteum is not required

03.501.704 Threaded Reduction Tool for MatrixRIB, with AO Quick Coupling

With the TRT attached to a power source, place it in drill guide.

With the reduction nut in the highest position possible, begin power insertion of the TRT slowly.

Precaution: The TRT has a maximum insertion length of 15 mm. To avoid injuries, limit the insertion depth according to the patient’s rib thick-ness. Stop insertion before the TRT contacts the top surface of the drill guide. Continuing to power after contacting the top surface of the drill guide may cause the TRT threads to strip in the bone.

90° SCREWDRIVER FOR MATRIXRIB SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS

1 Drilling with 90° Screwdriver

Instrument

03.501.751 MatrixRIB Drill Guide 2.2 mm for Screwdriver 90° with 0°/90° angle

03.501.752 MatrixRIB Drill Guide 2.2, for Screwdriver 90° with 45°/45° angle

03.501.756- MatrixRIB Drill Bit 2.2 mm, with Stop,03.501.764 length 6 mm to 14 mm, 2-fl ute, for Screwdriver 90°

Choose the appropriate drill guide angle. Engage and hold the drill guide on the desire plate hole.

Note: Ensure the head of drill guide is seated fl at on top of the plate to ensure proper engagement.

Select the appropriate drill bit with stop* and drill.

Precautions: • Do not drill any deeper than necessary to avoid

the risk of pneumothorax.• Irrigate during drilling to avoid thermal damage

to the bone.• Drilling speed should never exceed 1800 rpm.

Higher speeds can result in thermal necrosis of the bone and increased hole diameter and may lead to unstable fi xation.

Remove drill guide after drilling.

Notes:• 90° Screwdriver may stall during drilling, if drill

bit is misaligned with the drill guide.• The drill bit length indicator on the side of the 90°

screwdriver module can be used to reconfi rm the length of the drill bit.

*Length determined in Step 2 of plating rib instructions on page 7
