Locking Cap*– Square thread design minimizes cross threading under
high reduction loads and off-axis techniques.
– The saddle on the underside of the locking cap has agroove and ridge geometry to maximize resistance to rod push-through. The concave shape saddles the rod, preventing it from skiving during rod reduction.
– The saddle’s design also pilots the locking cap to thepolyaxial head and rod, minimizing cross threading.
– Self-retaining T25 StarDrive recess designed to resist damage at high loads.
Hooks*– Wide array of hooks for various patient anatomy.
– The low-profile head minimizes the implant height above the bony anatomy.
– The rod reduction features are located at the top of thehook, allowing instruments to be easily attached and removed from the implant.

MATRIX Spine System—Deformity. A posterior pedicle screw, hook and rod fixation system.
Rods– 5.5 mm diameter.– Offered in three different materials: titanium, titanium
alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb), and cobalt chromium. – Available in straight, precontoured, and hex-end types to
ease intraoperative construct assembly and technique maneuvers.
– Available in a variety of lengths from 200 mm to 500 mm.
Transconnector– The snap-on transconnector is a preassembled implant;
no in situ assembly required, only final positioning andtightening.
– Telescoping body is arched to accommodate grafts andanatomical structures; allows the transconnector to spanover a range of lengths (Figure 1).
– The locking screws use a T15 StarDrive which minimizesdrive stripping while final tightening.
– The jaws of the transconnector swivel and are spring-loaded(Figure 2). The swivel joints allow the jaws to quickly findthe correct orientation to each rod (Figures 3 and 4). Thespring-loaded jaw feature automatically applies a tensioningload to the implant, allowing it to remain stationary untilfinal tightening.
Tapered Rods– 6.0 mm diameter tapered to 5.5 mm diameter.– 5.5 mm diameter tapered to 4.0 mm diameter
(titanium alloy only).– 5.5 mm diameter tapered to 3.5 mm diameter
(titanium alloy only) (shown).– Offered in titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb) , titanium
or cobalt chromium. – Available in 500 mm length.

Polyaxial Heads– To ease intraoperative planning, the polyaxial heads can
be removed and replaced without removing the bonescrew from the pedicle (Figures 1a and b).
– The polyaxial head of the implant is designed for 50° of angulation.
– Standard and reduction heads incorporate features to easily mate with rod reduction instrumentation.
Open Titanium Transverse Bars– Provide a lateral extension from the longitudinal rod
to the monoaxial screw.
– Available in lengths of 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 30 mm.
– Eliminate the need for severe rod contours which mightotherwise be required for direct hook or screw-to-rod connection.

AO Principles
In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which havebecome the guidelines for internal fixation.1 They are:
– Anatomic reduction – Stable internal fixation – Preservation of blood supply – Early, active mobilization
The fundamental aims of fracture treatment in the limbs andfusion of the spine are the same. A specific goal in the spineis returning as much function as possible to the injured neural elements.2, 3

Indications and Contraindications
IndicationsThe Synthes USS are noncervical spinal fixation devices intended for posterior pedicle screw fixation (T1–S2/ ilium),posterior hook fixation (T1–L5), or anterolateral fixation(T8–L5). Pedicle screw fixation is limited to skeletally maturepatients with the exception of the Small Stature USS, whichincludes small stature and pediatric patients. These devicesare indicated as an adjunct to fusion for all of the followingindications: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenicback pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by historyand radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e.,fracture or dislocation), deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis,kyphosis, and/or lordosis, Scheuermann’s Disease), tumor,stenosis, and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis).
When treating patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD), transverse bars are not cleared for use as part of theposterior pedicle screw construct.
When used with the 3.5 mm/6.0 mm parallel connectors,the Synthes USS 6.0 mm rod systems can be linked to theCerviFix 3.5 mm Systems. In addition, when used with 3.5 mm/5.0 mm parallel connectors, the Synthes SmallStature USS can be linked to the CerviFix 3.5 mm Systems.When used with the 5.0 mm/6.0 mm parallel connectors,the Synthes Small Stature USS can be linked to the SynthesUSS 6.0 mm rod systems.
When used with the 3.5 mm/6.0 mm and 4.0 mm/6.0 mmtapered rods, the Synthes USS 6.0 mm rod systems can belinked to the CerviFix 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm Systems, respectively. When used with the 3.5 mm/5.5 mm and 4.0 mm/5.5 mm tapered rods, MATRIX can be linked to theCerviFix 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm Systems, respectively. Whenused with the 5.5 mm/6.0 mm tapered rods, the SynthesUSS 6.0 mm rod systems can be linked to the MATRIX System.
In addition, Synthes USS 6.0 mm rod systems can be inter-changed with all USS 6.0 mm rods and transconnectors exceptSynthes 6.0 mm cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy and titanium grade 3 rods, which can only be used with Pangea.
Synthes USS– 6.0 mm rod systems: USS Side-Opening, USS Dual-Opening,
USS VAS variable axis components, USS Fracture, Click’X,Click’X Monoaxial, Pangea, Pangea Monoaxial, USSPolyaxial, USS Iliosacral, ClampFix
– 5.5 mm rod system: MATRIX
– 5.0 mm rod system: USS Small Stature
CerviFix – 3.5 mm rod systems: CerviFix, Axon, Synapse
– 4.0 mm rod system: Synapse
Contraindications– Use of these devices is contraindicated when there is
active systemic infection, infection localized to the site of the proposed implantation, or when the patient hasdemonstrated allergy or foreign body sensitivity to any of the implant materials.
– Severe osteoporosis may prevent adequate fixation andthus preclude the use of this or any other orthopaedic implant.
– Conditions that may place excessive stresses on bone andimplants, such as severe obesity or degenerative diseases,are relative contraindications. The decision whether to usethese devices in patients with such conditions must bemade by the physician taking into account the risks versusthe benefits to the patients.
– Use of these implants is relatively contraindicated in patients whose activity, mental capacity, mental illness, alcoholism, drug abuse, occupation, or lifestyle may inter-fere with their ability to follow postoperative restrictions,thereby placing undue stresses on the implant duringbony healing. This could result in a higher risk of implant failure.
– When treating patients with degenerative disc disease(DDD), transverse bars are not cleared for use as part ofthe posterior pedicle screw construct.

If a locking cap needs to be loosened after tightened to 10 Nm, use a countertorque with detachable handle, MATRIX screwdriver shaft, and a 10 Nm torque limiting handle to loosen the locking cap.
Note: Locking caps are designed to lock the construct and resist postoperative loosening and rod push through. Therefore, in certain cases, the loosening torque may behigher than 10 Nm. In such cases, apply the following technique to loosen a locking cap.
Place the torque handle in the neutral position and begin tosequentially tighten and then immediately loosen the lockingcap. Turn until tactile or audible feedback from the implantsis experienced. It is important to approach the torque limit ofthe handle, but not exceed through the limit. Repeat thetightening/ loosening steps until the locking cap is loose. Toensure the screwdriver shaft is protected from damage, alwaysuse the 10 Nm torque limiting handle.
Caution: Never use a fixed or ratcheting T-handle screw-driver for this technique. If the torque limiting attachment is not used, breakage of the driver may occur and could potentially harm the patient.
