All components are made of: TiAl6V4Titanium

Alloy

The OsteoBridge™ IDSF – Intramedullary Diaphyseal Segmental Defect Fixation system is intended to be used in the management of segmental diaphyseal bone loss secondary to radical bone loss and/or resection due to tumors in either humerus, tibia or femur in oncology patients� The device is divided into three categories/product size ranges that are suitable for each boney application (see tables on pages 6-8)�

The system is designed for non-cemented and cemented fixation in bone� The modular system includes a spacer made of two cylindrical half-shells with eight screws that clamp over the end of two intramedullary nails� Non-cemented implants are additionally fixated with two interlocking screws per nail� Spacers and intramedullary nails of different sizes can be selected to accommodate varying intramedullary canal diameters and different bone defect sizes� If the defect size is larger than 70 mm, two spacers may be connected with a spacer connector� All components of the OsteoBridge™ IDSF system are manufactured from Ti6Al4V ELI titanium alloy according to ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3�

OsteoBridge™ IDSF SystemSurgical Technique

Surgical Technique

Please note: Use only the OsteoBridge™ instruments included in delivery when implanting OsteoBridge™ IDSF components.

OsteoBridge™ IDSF is a disposable product and must not be re-used. Do not use parts that are damaged, have damaged packaging, or whose intended use is unclear.

X Pre-operative planning

The surgical technique shown here serves as an example to help illustrate the basic procedure for implanting the OsteoBridge™ system. Merete GmbH, manufacturer of this medical product, does not stipulate that this or any other treatment method is to be used for any specific patient. The responsibility for selecting a suitable method of treating a patient lies with that patient’s operating physician. Patient information is to be provided in accordance with the product information sheet.

Pre-operative planning has a significant influence on the success of the operation� Correct implant selection depends upon it� Merete GmbH provides support in this regard� X-ray templates are available for pre-operative planning purposes� They can be used to determine correct nail and spacer lengths and diameters prior to surgery�

When selecting nails, remember to subtract the 18 mm clamping length from the selected nail length (Fig� 1)� This shortens the nail’s implantation length (see Table 1)�

X Preparing the defect to be treated

Figure 2 Marked bone

Figure 3 Preparing the medullary cavity

Mark beside the bone segment to be resected (e�g�, with a SteriPen™ or two K-wires), so that the bone can be aligned along its original axis following resection (Fig� 2)�

Only resect after the markings are in place!

The bone defect can now be resected and the defect zone prepared for the spacer� Be sure to saw away the bone section being replaced in a straight line, in order to maintain a good surface for the spacer� Measure the resected bone using the steel ruler (Ref� AI90300) and select a spacer whose length approximately matches that of the resected bone� Selecting a slightly shorter spacer will make it easier to fit� The diameter of the spacer depends on the limb being operated upon�

1

For the operation to succeed, it is important to prepare the medullary cavity carefully, in accordance with the following instructions� Prepare the medullary cavity by reaming it proximally and distally to the desired diameter (Fig� 3), ideally using flexible intermedullary reamer (not included)� The medullary cavity should be reamed in 0.5 mm steps until contact with the corticalis has been made. Make sure there is at least 4 cm in length of cortical bone contact, in order to ensure stable anchorage of the nail within the bone� Correct nail length can be determined based on the length of intramedullary reamer guide wire inserted�

Caution: Do not use interlocking screws for cemented nail fixation� Pilot drill oscillations in the interlocking holes of the nail will generate a clearance between implant and cement which deteriorates the rotational stability of the construct� Also, hardened cement should not be perforated since cracks may be introduced when using the drill� Postoperatively cyclic loading may enlarge the clearance or the cracks until breakage, dislocation or migration of a component� Consequently, the risk for the following iatrogenic complications increases when the cemented construct is weakended through interlocking screws insertion• Loosening of the locking screw• Locking screw breakage• Loosening of the nail• Breakage of the nail• Breakage of the cement mantle• Heat generation• Breakage of the drill (drill is not designed for use in bone cement)

Note:Dynamisation of the nails is a decision left to the discretion of the operating physician.

Use the scale on the drill (Fig� 10) or the depth gauge (Ref� AI00200, Fig� 11) to determine the necessary screw length� Start by removing the drill sleeve� Then guide the depth gauge through the protection sleeve and place it on the bone� Push the narrow rod of the depth gauge through the bone and hook it to the opposite corticalis� Always round odd numbers to the next size up (e�g�: 43 mm measured 44 mm interlocking screw)�

Insert the second interlocking screw using the same procedure described above� Once the holes have been placed and the screws have been inserted, the NGI can be removed (Fig� 12)� Do not begin locking the second nail until the first nail is completely locked into the bone�

All nails have two holes so that they can be double-locked� On nails 110 mm or longer, the second hole is elongated for optional dynamisation, which entails removing the distal screw several weeks after the operation�
