Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 5

Indications

The Synthes Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS), when used with Synthes cannulated titanium intramedullary nails, is intended to aid in the alignment and stabilization of tibial, humeral, femoral and ankle fractures.

Page 7: For Angular Stable Locking of Intramedullary Nails Angular ...synthes.vo.llnwd.net/o16/LLNWMB8/US Mobile/Synthes North America... · For Angular Stable Locking of Intramedullary Nails

6 DePuy Synthes Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) Surgical Technique

Preparation

The following pages describe techniques for locking with ASLS. All illustrations use the Tibial Nail-EX, as an example.

1Preoperative planning

Use the appropriate AO preoperative planner template to estimate nail diameter and length.

2Reduce fracture and insert nail

Reduce the fracture and insert the nail. Use a compatible DePuy Synthes titanium cannulated intramedullary nailing system according to the relevant technique guide.

Note: The ASLS is only compatible with cannulated nails. It is necessary for the sleeve to expand within the cannulation of the intramedullary nail to provide sufficient stability.

Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 7

3Choose appropriate locking screws

For each locking hole, preselect the optimal locking implant to stabilize the fracture. If using an ASLS screw, the diameter of the ASLS screw and instruments will match the diameter of the standard screw/bolt for the particular nail.

Note: A combination of standard locking screws/bolts and ASLS screws can be used in the same nail.

Caution: Do not exchange a standard locking screw/bolt for an ASLS screw or vice versa as this may reduce screw-to-bone interface stability.

Once the nail is inserted, attach the aiming arm to the insertion handle. Confirm that the nail is tightly connected to the insertion handle.

Insert the appropriate three-part trocar combination (protection sleeve, drill sleeve and trocar) through the desired hole in the aiming arm. Make a skin incision and ensure that the dissection of the fascia is in line with the path of the protection sleeve. Advance the three-part trocar combination to the bone. Remove the trocar.

Note: Ensure that the drill sleeve is pressed firmly to the near cortex.

3Determine ASLS screw length

Read the measurement from the calibrated drill bit at the back of the drill sleeve. Select the ASLS screw length accordingly. Remove the drill bit and drill sleeve.

Note: Follow all recommended techniques for screw/bolt measurement for the relevant nail system.

Precaution: Do not exchange a standard locking screw/bolt for an ASLS screw or vice versa as this may reduce screw-to-bone interface stability.

Align the hand reamer with the locking hole axis. Ream the near cortex and clear the passage down to the nail. Remove the hand reamer.

If necessary, use image intensification to control the position of the hand reamer.

Note: To correctly insert the ASLS sleeve, ensure: – the near cortex is completely reamed; – the passage from the near cortex to the nail’s locking hole is cleared; – the drilled/reamed hole aligns with the nail’s locking hole.

6.0 mm

03.025.136 4.9 mm/7.0 mm Drill-Reamer, quick coupling, 288 mm

Use a power-driven drill-reamer to open the near cortex. Align the drill-reamer with the locking hole axis and ream the near cortex. Once the large diameter of the drill-reamer passes through the near cortex, stop reaming immediately. Remove the drill-reamer.

If necessary, clear the passage down to the nail with the hand reamer.

If necessary, use image intensification to control the positionof the drill-reamer.

Precaution: Ensure that the drill-reamer does not damage the nail.

Insert screws in targeted locking holes (see Screw Insertion, page 21), before continuing with freehand locking.

Freehand Locking

2Make incision

Using image intensification, place a long K-wire or alternative long instrument on the skin over the center of the hole to mark the incision point.

Make a skin incision with a scalpel blade at this location.

Note: Check the reduction, correct alignment of the fragments, and limb length before locking.

1Align image

The techniques for distal locking apply. Align the image intensifier with the desired locking hole until a perfect circle is visible in the center of the screen.

Note: Ensure that the image displayed on the image intensifier mirrors the actual image in all axes.

Attach the appropriate drill bit to the radiolucent drive. Using image intensification, insert the tip of the drill bit through the incision and to the bone.

Incline the drive to center the tip of the drill bit over the locking hole. The drill bit should nearly fill the circle of the locking hole. Hold the drill bit in this position and drill through both cortices. Stop drilling immediately after the tip of the drill penetrates the far cortex. Remove the drill bit.

Precaution: Follow all recommended techniques for screw/bolt insertion for the relevant nail system. When inserting locking screws monocortically, stop drilling immediately after penetrating the near cortex.

Screw Insertion

1Position sleeve

Select the appropriate resorbable sleeve.

Position the sleeve so that the sleeve lip is facing the screwhead. Thread the ASLS sleeve onto the ASLS screw.

Note: The sleeve is positioned correctly when gold is visible on either side of the sleeve and the screw tip protrudes 1 mm–2 mm beyond the sleeve.

Precautions: Do not use ASLS screws without sleeves. When attaching the sleeve, stop threading the sleeve once resistance increases. Resistance occurs when the sleeve expands as it moves onto the larger diameter of the screw. An expanded sleeve will prevent screw/sleeve insertion into a locking hole.

Precaution: Do not rotate the screwdriver until the sleeve is seated in the locking hole.

Note: If the screw/sleeve assembly cannot be pushed to the nail stop, use the appropriate reamer to completely open the near cortex (see earlier step “Ream near cortex”).

3Screw into far cortex

Push the screwdriver to get the screw started. Rotate the screwdriver to advance the screw until the screw threads engage the far cortex.

Notes: The larger diameter core expands the sleeve in the nail, providing angular stability. In the final screw position, the largest diameter screw threads will engage the near cortex and the screw tip will protrude beyond the far cortex.
