Indications

The 2.4 mm Variable Angle LCP® Distal Radius Plates are indicated for fi xation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones in adults, skeletally mature adolescents, andthe following adolescent distal radius fractures:

• Intra-articular fractures exiting the epiphysis• Intra-articular fractures exiting the metaphysis• Physeal crush injuries• Any injuries which cause growth arrest to the distal radius

The DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7 mm Variable Angle LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long is intended for intra- and extra-articular fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, and malunions of the distal radius, with or without extension into the radial diaphysis in adults and adolescents (12-21) where the growth plates have fused or will not be crossed, such as:

• Intra-articular fractures exiting the epiphysis• Intra-articular fractures exiting the metaphysis• Physeal crush injuries• Any injuries which cause growth arrest to the distal radius

Precaution: The DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7 mm VA LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long was designed for patients where the growth plates have fused or will not be crossed. The use of the 2.4/2.7 mm VA LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long in patients where the growth plates have not fused or will be crossed may result in premature closure of the physis and bone growth inhibition.

Distal Radius Sterile Kit Key Steps

Note: Please refer to the IFU and this surgical technique for full usage information.


Sterile Tube Packaging

The screws contained in the Distal Radius Sterile Kit were selected based upon the wide anatomical range they can cover and historical sale/usage data to maximize the breadth of surgeries in which they can be used. In the event the screw length needed for surgery is not contained in the kit, additional sterile screws are available.

Leading the Way–Sterile ImplantsThe Sterile Tube concept consists of a solution that uses 2 tubes where one fi ts into the other to allow a streamlined and secure transfer of sterile implants into the sterile fi eld.

Follow the following steps to access a sterile screw:

Step 1: Tear the pull-strip open to remove the sleeve.

Step 2: Open the outer tube by unscrewing the outer cap from the outer tube. Do not touch the inner tube to maintain sterility.

Step 3:Circulating Nurse (non-sterile fi eld): Hold the outer cap and point the inner tube towards the sterile fi eld.Scrub Nurse (sterile fi eld): Remove the inner tube by pulling and if necessary slightly twisting the inner tube back and forth to release it from the outer cap. When twisting the tube, hold on to the tube and not the cap.

Step 4: Open the inner tube by unscrewing the inner cap from the inner tube and remove the holder with the screw.

Step 5: Engage the screwdriver in the screw recess and if necessary secure with fi nger. Remove the screw from the holder by tilting it out of the holder/tilting the holder away at the opening.

Approach

Make a longitudinal incision slightly radial to the fl exor carpi radialis tendon (FCR). Dissect between the FCR and the radial artery, exposing the pronator quadratus. Detach the pronator quadratus from the lateral border of the radius and elevate it toward the ulna.

Note: Leave the volar wrist capsule intact to avoid devascularization of the fracture fragments and destabilization of the volar wrist ligaments.


1. Select implant

Instrument

03.111.120S 2.4 mm VA LCP 2-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate Templates, sterile

Sizing templatesDouble-sided sterile sizing templates may be used to identify the desired plate size prior to opening a distal radius sterile kit. Templates are available for 2.4 mm VA LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plates.

Sizing templates are marked with Left (L) and Right (R) as well as the corresponding plate type (narrow, standard, wide).

Select the correct distal radius sterile kit according to the template matching the bone and fracture pattern with respect to side (left and right, facing up) and size (narrow, standard, wide).

Precaution: Ensure proper plate selection by verifying the L (left) and R (right) etching on the sizing template. The template’s distal lip is slightly lower on the radial side.

Note: Excessive and repetitive bending of the templates should be avoided.

Implantation Steps

Sizing template choices, for 2.4 mm VA LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plates (narrow, standard, wide head sizes).

Sizing templates are double-sided (L and R version)


2. Reduce fracture and position plate

Instrument

292.120 1.25 mm Kirschner Wires, with trocar tip

Reduce the fracture The reduction method will be fracture-specific.

Position plateApply the plate to fit the volar surface.

The order of screw insertion and the use of K-wires may vary depending on the fracture pattern and reduction technique.

If necessary, use 1.25 mm K-wires inserted through the desired Kirschner-wire hole to temporarily fix the plate distally. The distal K-wire holes of the plate are designed to indicate the nominal screw trajectory angle of the screw hole medial to the respective K-wire hole.

Perform several radiographic views of the distal radius to ensure alignment, plate placement, and fracture reduction.

03.111.114 2.4/2.7 mm Depth Gauge

03.111.115 0.8 Nm Torque-limiting Screwdriver, T8

Determine where 2.4 mm locking screws and 2.4 mm cortex screws will be used in the plate. The order of screw insertion in the shaft and metaphysis may vary depending on the fracture pattern and reduction technique.

Verify plate and distal screw location with a drill bit or K-wires before inserting multiple screws.

Cortex Screws

Drill using VA/Cortex Drill Guide Beginning with the center of the elongated hole in the shaft of the plate, drill with the 1.8 mm drill bit using the 1.8 mm VA/Cortex drill guide.

Note: The 1.8 mm VA/Cortex drill guide should be fully inserted in cortex or VA plate holes. Moderate pressure should be applied to keep guide inserted in plate hole when drilling.

Precaution: Excessive force should be avoided while drilling to avoid bending or damaging the drill.

Insertion of proximal screws (continued)

Determine screw length of cortex screws Engage the hook of the 2.4/2.7 mm depth gauge at the opposite cortex and shift the sleeve down into the hole (1). Take the reading from the edge of the sleeve (see arrow 2) and select a screw length corresponding to the reading.

Insert cortex (non-locking) screwInsert an appropriate length 2.4 mm cortex screw in the elongated hole in the plate shaft. Adjust the plate position if necessary and tighten the screw with the screwdriver.

Depending on fi xation requirements, additional cortex screws may be inserted into remaining unthreaded shaft holes following the steps above.

Note: If dense bone is preventing screw insertion by engaging the torque-limiting function of the screwdriver before the screw head is seated, the torque-limiting stop should be attached to the torque-limiting screwdriver. Then carefully tighten the screw paying attention not to overtighten it. For assembly of the torque-limiting stop refer to chapter “Torque-limiting Stop for Dense Bone.”

Implantation Steps

Insertion of proximal screws (continued)

Locking Shaft Screws Drill using the Coaxial Drill GuideFor locking screws, carefully insert the 1.8 mm coaxial drill guide into the threaded portion of the shaft hole until it is seated in the desired locking hole. Drill with the 1.8 mm drill bit.

Note: The 1.8 mm coaxial drill guide should be inserted in-axis to the plate hole and tightened until held in plate. Excessive torque should be avoided.


Determine screw length Use the 2.4/2.7 mm depth gauge to determine the screw length.Take the reading from the edge of the sleeve (see arrow).

Insert a locking screwUsing the T8 torque-limiting screwdriver, insert the screw perpendicular to the plate surface until the screw head is seated.

Note: If dense bone is preventing screw insertion by engaging the torque-limiting function of the screwdriver before the screw head is seated, the torque-limiting stop should be attached to the torque-limiting screwdriver. Then carefully tighten the screw paying attention not to overtighten it. For assembly of the torque-limiting stop refer to chapter “Torque-limiting Stop for Dense Bone.”


4. Insertion of distal screwsFor used instruments, please refer to page 13.

4a. Determine whether screws will be inserted at the pre-defined nominal angle (option 1) or at a variable angle (option 2).

Option 1: Pre-defined angle drillingTo follow the nominal trajectory of a locking hole, insert the 1.8 mm coaxial drill guide in-axis to the nominal angle of the plate hole. Drill with the 1.8 mm drill bit.


Option 2: Variable angle drillingUse the 1.8 mm VA/cortex drill guide. Fully seat it into the VA locking hole. Drill holes at the desired angle with the 1.8 mm drill bit. Moderate pressure should be applied to keep the guide inserted in the plate hole when drilling.

Precaution: To ensure that the screw is locked correctly, do not angle it in excess of +/– 15° from the nominal trajectory of the hole. Excessive force should be avoided while drilling to avoid bending or damaging the drill.

To achieve the desired angle, verify the drill bit angle under image intensifier control. If necessary, drill at a different angle and verify again under image intensifier control.

Implantation Steps


Implantation Steps

4b. Determine screw length

Use the 2.4/2.7 mm depth gauge to determine the screw length.

If the fracture type allows choose a screw length shorter than measured to ensure the screw does not protrude from the dorsal cortex.3,10

4c. Insert VA locking screws

Using the T8 torque-limiting screwdriver, insert the screw in the direction of the previously drilled hole until the screw head is seated.


5. Ensure proper joint reconstructionEnsure proper joint reconstruction, screw placement and screw length using multiple radiographic views. Verify that the distal screws are not in the joint by using additional views such as a 10° dorsally tilted, 20° inclined lateral, 45° pronated oblique, and the dorsal tangential view.5,6

Instruments

03.111.115 Torque-limiting Screwdriver, T8

03.111.116 Torque-limiting StopOptional: intended to be used only in case of dense bone

Use the T8 torque-limiting screwdriver to perform the final locking step for VA locking screws.

Insert the screw until you hear a click.

The torque-limiting screwdriver prevents over-tightening and ensures that the VA locking screws are securely locked into the plate.

Note: For dense bone, visually inspect if the screw is appropriately threaded and seated after tightening with the torque-limiting screwdriver. If dense bone is preventing screw insertion, the torque-limiting stop should be attached to the torque-limiting screwdriver. Then carefully tighten the screw until the head is fl ush with the plate surface. For a detailed description of screw insertion and assembly of the torque-limiting stop refer to chapter “Torque-limiting Stop for Dense Bone.”

Precaution: Remove the torque-limiting stop from the screwdriver when not necessary to overcome dense bone.

Postoperative Treatment and Implant Removal

Postoperative treatment Postoperative treatment with VA locking compression plates does not differ from conventional internal fixation procedures and is at the discretion of the clinician.

Implant removal

Instrument

03.111.117S Screwdriver, T8, non-retaining, sterile For implant removal

The screwdriver for implant removal is not designed for screw retention.

Before attempting screw removal clean all screw head recesses of tissue or ingrown/overgrown bone using a dental pick or other appropriate instrument.

To remove locking screws, first unlock all screws from the plate; then remove the screws completely from the bone.

The last screw removed should be a non-locking screw on the shaft. This prevents the plate from spinning when locking screws are removed.
