The Synthes Craniofacial (CMF) Distraction System is in-tended for use as a bone stabilizer and lengthening (and/ortransport) device for correction of congenital deficiencies orpost-traumatic defects of the mandibular body and ramuswhere gradual bone distraction is required. The system of 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm is recommended for children under theage of 12 months and 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm is recommendedfor older patients.

Indications

Synthes 5

Preoperative Planning

Determine the postdistraction anatomic goal by conductingan evaluation of the craniofacial pathology and asymmetrythrough clinical exam, CT scan, cephalogram and/orpanoramic x-ray. Anatomical models are beneficial for select-ing appropriate distractor components, determining the loca-tion of the osteotomy and placement of the devices, and forpre-bending the footplates.

Select two footplates according to the treatment plan andchosen distractor design, giving special consideration to thepatient’s anatomy.

Note: Footplates must mate with the selected distractorbody. If an AB distractor body is selected, one A-style andone B-style footplate must be used. If a BC distractor body isselected, one B-style and one C-style footplate must be used.

Notes– To ensure that the soft tissue does not obstruct the activa-

tion hex during distraction, the next longer size extensionarm may need to be used.

– Extension arms can be removed from the distractor at thestart of the consolidation phase without the need for a surgical procedure (see page 28 for instructions).

The following surgical technique is an example of an intrao-ral approach with the distractor placed in an anterior orienta-tion with intraoral activation. A similar technique can beused for placing the distractor in a posterior orientation witha percutaneous activation port. The distractor can also beplaced on the mandibular ramus.

Make a mandibular vestibular or a submandibular incision.Elevate the periosteum to expose the mandible.

3Fit distractor

Place a fully assembled distractor in the intended area to as-sess the patient’s anatomy and determine the approximatelocation of the footplates and extension arm.

Factors to consider include:– Occlusal plane– Tooth buds and roots– Planned vector of distraction– Adequate bone for screw placement– Location of mental nerve– Lip closure– Soft tissue (mucosa) coverage– Location of activation hex

Ideal Acceptable Not preferable

Optional technique: Alignment rods

Instrument

03.315.003 Alignment Rod, for CMF Distractor

Alignment rods can be used throughout the course of surgery to:– Aid in parallel placement of the devices– Indicate the vectors of advancement– Hold the distractors during screw fixation and device

placement

To use the alignment rods, place the open end of the align-ment rod over the distractor body or extension arm.

Synthes 19

Slide the alignment rod sleeve forward until it meets thethreaded portion of the rod and rotate clockwise until therod tightens onto the distractor.

Important: The alignment rods should not be used as lever-age for bending the footplates as this may cause damage tothe distractor bodies.

While parallel placement of the distractors is ideal, this maybe difficult to accomplish considering the patient’s soft tissuecoverage, and could potentially lead to patient discomfort. Aslight convergence of the distraction vector is acceptable toensure patient comfort.

The point of convergence should be farther from the patientfor larger advancements and can be closer to the patient forsmaller advancements.

Cut the footplates to remove any unnecessary screw holes.

Notes on cutting– Activate the distractor to separate the footplates to aid in

cutting.– Cut the footplates so the cut edges are flush with the dis-

tractor body.

Screws can be placed in the holes superior to the distractorbody in the posterior footplate and in the holes inferior tothe distractor body in the anterior footplate for added sta-bility.

Important: A minimum of three screw holes should remainin each footplate to ensure adequate stability.

Take care to avoid placing screws in tooth buds or roots.

Contour the footplates to the mandible using the combination bending pliers.

Page 25: Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Distraction System. A modular family of ...

Notes– A minimum of three screws should be inserted through

each footplate to ensure adequate stability.– Depending on patient anatomy and placement of the dis-

tractor, the extension arm can either remain in the intraoralcavity or project through a small percutaneous activationport. If the extension arm remains in the intraoral cavity,care should be taken to ensure that it does not interferewith the patient’s ability to eat.

– Extension arms can be secured below the dentition with aloop of wire attached to orthodontic brackets or to theteeth. The loop should restrict the vertical movement ofthe extension arm without affecting the arms’ ability to ro-tate. This will ensure that the extension arm does not in-terfere with mastication.

8Complete osteotomy

Complete the osteotomy on the lingual aspect of themandible using an osteotome. Take care to avoid the nerve.

Important: The osteotomy must be complete and the bonemust be mobile. The distractor is not designed or intended tobreak bone and/or complete the osteotomy.

It is recommended to begin active distraction three to fivedays after device placement. For young patients, active dis-traction can begin earlier to prevent premature consolida-tion.

To activate the distractors, engage an activation instrumentwith the activation hex and rotate counterclockwise (in thedirection of the arrow marked on the instrument).

The instrument can be made smaller for use in young pa-tients, by removing the blue machine screw.

Rate of activation The AB and BC distractors advance at different rates.

Notes– To accomplish a half-turn, rotate the activation instrument

from the side with the arrow marked on it to the side withthe open slot.

– A minimum of 1.0 mm of linear advancement per day isrecommended to prevent premature consolidation.

Patient careIf the distractors are placed with the extension arms in theintraoral cavity, care must be taken to prevent the arms frominterfering with mastication. Extension arms can be securedbelow the dentition with a loop of wire attached to ortho-dontic brackets or to the teeth. The loop should restrict thevertical movement of the extension arm without affectingthe arm’s ability to rotate. This will ensure that the extensionarm does not interfere with mastication.

If the distractors are placed with the extension arms exitingthrough percutaneous ports, it is important that the exten-sion arms be protected from catching on objects that couldpull or deform the devices and cause the patient pain or in-jury. Extension arms can be taped or bandaged to the skin to prevent them from snagging on external objects.

ConsolidationAfter the desired advancement has been achieved, the newbone must be given time to consolidate. The consolidationperiod should be at least six to twelve weeks.2 This time pe-riod may vary in relation to patient age and should be deter-mined by clinical evaluation.

If the removable extension arms were used, they can be re-moved at the start of the consolidation phase.

Extension Arm Removal

Instrument

03.315.004 Removal Instrument, for CMF Distractor

Engage the removal instrument with the extension arm.

Rotate the removal instrument collar counterclockwise atleast 16 full turns. This will unscrew the outer sleeve of theextension arm and expose the hex pocket where the exten-sion arm connects to the distractor.

Warning: When removing the extension arms, rotate onlythe collar of the removal instrument. Do not allow the baseof the removal instrument to rotate in your hand, as doing somay result in a change in the distraction distance that hasbeen achieved.

Disengage the extension arm from the distractor with side-to-side movements of the arm. Remove the extension armthrough the percutaneous port or intraoral cavity.

Note: The line etched on the extension arm corresponds tothe direction of the hex pocket opening at the top of the ex-tension arm. Pushing the extension arm in the direction ofthe line should disengage it from the distractor.
