AxSOS Targeting System Distal Lateral Femur Operative - Stryker AxSOS Targeting System Distal Lateral Femur Operative - Stryker
Introduction The AxSOS Locking Plate System is intended for use in long bone fracture fixation. The AxSOS Locking Plate System is indicated for fixation of long bone fractures including fractures of the distal radius, the proximal humerus, the distal tibia, proximal tibia and the distal femur. The system design is based on clinical input from an international panel of experienced surgeons, data from literature, and both practical and biomechanical testing. The anatomical shape, the fixed screw trajectory, and high surface quality of each AxSOS plate take into account the current demands of clinical physicians for appropriate fixation, high fatigue strength, and minimal soft tissue damage. This Operative Technique contains a simple step-by-step procedure for the implantation of the Distal Lateral Femoral Plate using the specially designed Targeting Device. 4
Features & Benefits System The Distal Lateral Femoral Plate is designed with optimized fixed-angled screw trajectories in the metaphyseal part and perpendicular fixed-angled screw trajectories in the diaphyseal part, which provide increased biomechanical stability and better resistance to pull out. The metaphyseal screw pattern also avoids any interference in the intercondylar notch and helps prevent loss of reduction. Unthreaded Freedom Holes • Freehand placement of screws. • Lag Screw possibility. Instruments • Simple technique with easy to use instrumentation. • Designed for MIPO (Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis) technique using state of the art instrumentation. 5 Monoaxial Holes Allow axially stable screw placement, bringing rigidity to the construct. Range Longer plates cover a wider range of fractures. Rounded & Tapered Plate End Helps facilitate sliding of plates submuscularly. Anatomically contoured • No bending required. • May reduce OR time. • Facilitates/allows for better soft tissue coverage. • Helps confirm axial alignment. Innovative Locking Screw Design • Screw is guided into plate. • The single thread screw design allows easy insertion into the plate, reducing any potential for cross threading or cold welding. Aiming Block • Radiolucent for optimized view of periarticular region during fluoroscopic evaluation. • Facilitates precise placement of metaphyseal Drill Sleeves and screws. Frame Fixator • Creates a stable construct between the Targeting Arm and plate for exact screw targeting. • Helps reduce the bone to the plate and to maintain control of segmented fragments. Shaft Holes Locking or Standard • Pre-threaded locking holes allow axially stable screw placement. • Accept additional Locking Inserts for improved shaft fixation in osteoporotic bone. • Neutral fixation using conventional 4.5/6.5mm SPS screws.
