Compact Ankle Fracture System Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes Select 3
DePuy Synthes Select offers surgical device systems designed for use in the most common orthopedic and podiatric procedures performed in Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). The Select compact systems feature the same high-quality DePuy Synthes products used in hospitals, but combined into consolidated sets to help improve effi ciency for our ASC customers.
The confi guration of the Compact Ankle Fracture System contains general instruments, Locking Compression Plates (LCP®) such as fi bula plates, 1/3 tubular plates, hook plate, as well as screws for syndesmotic repair and medial malleolus fractures. The LCP 1/3 tubular plate is a commonly used implant for a high number of distal fi bula fractures that results in a fi xed-angle construct and obtains fi xation in osteoporotic bone. Additionally the LCP distal fi bula plates are anatomically contoured and offer multiple screw options in the head of the plate.

COLOR CODINGA comprehensive color coding system highlights groups of instruments and associated screw sizes/types. Drill bits, drill guides, screwdriver shafts as well as the graphic case trays and screw racks are color-coordinated to facilitate pre-, intra-, and post-operative handling of the sets.
Color Screw size (mm)
Screw type Drill size (mm)Threaded hole= one color band
Drill size (mm)Gliding hole= two color bands
Shaft size
Orange 2.7 Cortex 2.0 2.7 T8
Yellow 3.5/4.0 Cortex/Cancellous 2.5 3.5 2.5 mm Hex
Black 3.5 Locking 2.8 – T15
Gray 4.0 Cannulated 2.7 – 2.5 mm Hex
In addition to the color for each screw size/type a band system distinguishes the drill size for the threaded hole (= one color band) and the gliding hole (= two color bands). The one band/two band principle is also replicated on the drill guides.

The layout of instruments is focused on order of use to correlate with the surgical steps and therefore assist with the intra-operative sequence.
Instruments are arranged by groups (general instruments, 2.7 mm screw instrumentation, etc.). The handling fl ows from left to right and from top to bottom. E.g. general instruments are typically used fi rst and are therefore placed on the left. Hence, implant specifi c instruments are located on the right side in order of the surgical steps:• Drill bit• Drill guide• Measuring device• Screwdriver• TLA

In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation.1 They are:
Anatomic reductionFracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships.
Stable fixationStability by fixation or splintage, as the personality of the fracture and the injury requires.
Preservation of blood supplyPreservation of the blood supply to soft tissue and bone by careful handling.
Early, active mobilizationEarly, active mobilization of the part and patient.

PREPARATION
12 DePuy Synthes Select Compact Ankle Fracture System Surgical Technique
2.7 MM/3.5 MM LCP LATERAL DISTAL FIBULA PLATE TECHNIQUE FOR DISTAL FIBULA FRACTURE
The techniques for implanting the lateral distal fi bula plate and one-third tubular plate are similar. The following describes implantation of a lateral distal fi bula plate.
1Reduce fi bular fracture
Instruments
398.41 Reduction Forceps with points
399.99 Reduction Forceps with serrated jaw
292.12 1.25 mm Kirschner Wire, 150 mm
292.16 1.6 mm Kirschner Wire, 150 mm
292.20 2.0 mm Kirschner Wire, 150 mm
Expose and clean the fracture site and reduce the fracture. It is critical that fi bular length, alignment and rotation are accurately restored.
In spiral or oblique fracture patterns, a clamp can be applied for reduction. Provisional reduction can be maintained with pointed reduction forceps or K-wires.

2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Lateral Distal Fibula Plate Technique for Distal Fibula Fracture
1. Reduce fibular fracture continued
Alternatively, in some fracture patterns, the plate can be used to assist with and guide the reduction. This may be especially important in comminuted fractures where a bridging technique is used.
Technique tip: Application of an external fixator or distractor may facilitate obtaining fibular length, fracture reduction and visualization of the distal tibiofibular joint.
Confirm the reduction with image intensification. Temporary reduction can be obtained with clamps, multiple Kirschner wires, or independent lag screws if the fracture pattern allows. K-wires can be placed through the distal end of the plate to assist with temporary maintenance of the reduction and for plate placement. Options for maintaining the reduction depend on the fracture configuration and include:• Independent lag screws• Lag screws through the plate• Locking screws through the plate
Locking screws do not provide interfragmentary compression; compression must be achieved with standard lag screws or by using the plate itself to compress the fracture. The fracture must be reduced and compressed before fixation of the LCP distal fibula plate with locking screws in simple fracture configurations. If a bridge plate technique is planned, the implant can be secured proximally and distally using locking screws, if the fibular length, alignment and rotation are correct.

2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Lateral Distal Fibula Plate Technique for Distal Fibula Fracture
2Insert plate
Expose the fi bula proximally as needed for plate application. In the majority of circumstances, an open approach for plate application will be performed.
Occasionally, a submuscular plate insertion will be performed using a minimally invasive technique. The plate can be slid along the lateral fi bular shaft and positioned with the distal end of the plate approximately 5 mm from the tip of the fi bula.
3Position plate and fi x provisionally
Temporarily hold the plate in position using any of the following options. These options also prevent plate rotation while inserting the fi rst locking screw:• Standard plate holding forceps• K-wires placed through the plate distally and/
or proximally• 2.7 mm cortex screw placed in one of the distal holes• 3.5 mm cortex screw placed in a Combi® hole
After plate insertion, check plate placement and alignment using fl uoroscopy. Ensure proper reduction before inserting the fi rst locking screw. Once locking screws are inserted, further reduction is not possible without loosening the locking screws.
Verify plate placement under image intensifi cation to determine if fi nal screw and plate placement are acceptable.

4Distal screw insertion
Determine the combination of screws to be used for fi xation. If a combination of locking and cortex screws will be used, cortex screws should be inserted fi rst.
Note: To secure the plate to the fi bula before lockingscrew insertion, it is recommended to pull the plateto the bone using a cortex screw.

Instrument
292.16 1.6 mm Kirschner Wire, 150 mm
In multifragmentary fractures, care must be taken to avoid excessive stripping of the periosteum as well as devascularization of the fragments.
Indirect reduction usually is obtained by longitudinal traction, either on the foot, or of the main distal fragment using a bone hook.
If the distal fragment is large enough, insert one or two K-wires to hold the reduction.
The correct length, rotation and alignment must be checked under image intensifi cation.

Note: If required, the plate can be bent using bending pliers. Pay attention not to bend the plate over the Combi holes to prevent deformity of the locking portion. The plate hooks must not be bent.

In dense bone, it may be helpful to use a 2.7 mm cannulated drill bit to penetrate the near cortex prior to screw insertion.
Use the 2.7 mm cannulated drill bit with the 2.7 mm/1.25 mm double drill sleeve to drill the near cortex only. Use image intensifi cation if necessary.
Care must be taken to avoid penetration of the ankle joint.
In some cases, especially in cancellous bone, the self-drilling fl utes of the 4.0 mm cannulated screw make predrilling unnecessary.

Instrument
319.15 Cannulated Screw Measuring Device
The length of the screw shaft must be chosen so that the threaded part of the screw lies fully within the opposite bone fragment, but does not penetrate beyond the denser epiphyseal cancellous bone.
Slide the tapered end of the cannulated screw measuring device over the guide wire, down to the bone. Read the scale at the end of the guide wire to determine appropriate screw length. This reading will place the screw 5 mm short of the tip of the guide wire, allowing the threaded portion of the guide wire to remain in the bone during screw insertion.
