PELVIC AND ACETABULAR PLATING

RATIONALE

2

The newly developed Matta Pelvic Set is designed for the most common indications in surgical treatment ofpelvic and acetabular fractures. The extremely complexanatomy of the pelvic bone, particulary the acetabularregion, requires perfect anatomical reduction if good functional and durable results are to be achieved.

The shape, material properties, plate malleability and holespacing of the plates take into account the currentdemands from clinical physicians for sufficient fatiguestrength, optimized transfer of loading forces, and a standardized operative technique with broad applicability.

All implants are made of Stainless Steel (316 LVM).

IMPLANT RATIONALEThe Matta Pelvic Set consists of five different platedesigns. The plates are differentiated by design, stiffnessand function.

MPS PLATESStraight and curved pelvic plates with a hole spacing of16mm are available. Curved plates are designed to matcheither the male (R108) or the female (R88) pelvic brimrespectively. These plates are rather stiff and are preferredfor the pelvic brim and when a more rigid implant is necessary.

MPS FLEX PLATEThese plates have reduced hole spacing (12mm) and aremade of annealed stainless steel, resulting in less stiffness.They are easily contoured and preferred when a stiffimplant is not required (e.g. posterior wall fractures, ilium fixation etc.)

MPS SYMPHYSIS PLATEWith 3.2mm thickness and increased width through the midsection, together with an anatomically curved radius of 75mm, this plate normally obviates the need for axial contouring. This new plate is available in either a four or six hole option.

SCREWSAll the Matta Pelvic System screws have a hexagonalhead with a spherical underside and conform fully to the requirements set by standards. Screw fixation of thepelvis often requires the use of extra-long screws. In addition to the standard screw range, the system includes3.5mm cortical screws up to 110mm, 4.5mm corticalscrews up to 120mm and 6.5mm cancellous screws up to 130mm.

All the cortical screws within the range are self-tapping.Three cutting flutes on the tip of each screw allows cleanercutting and help to reduce “compacting” of the bonechips at the tip of the screw. Due to specially designedcutting grooves, they also offer an enhanced insertion torque.

Depending on the screw selection, the screw heads canbe countersunk almost completely into the specificallydesigned plate holes.

MATERIAL COMPOSITIONASTM F138 & F139/ ISO 5832-1 material standards providerigid specification, which define the chemical composition,microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of implant quality Stainless Steel. These standards ensure that Stainless Steel 316LVM even if provided by differentsuppliers, is consistent and compatible. The material used for all plates and screws in this system complies with these standards.

CLINICAL DESIGN SURGEON

The System is designed with the kind collaboration of the following Clinician:Joel M. Matta, M.D.

Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles, California

with thanks to the late Prof. Emile Letournel

In 1983 the Osteo company of Selzach, Switzerland produced the first commercially available acetabular and pelvic fixation set at the request of, and under the guidance of Prof. Letournel. In 1996 Osteo was purchased by Stryker Corporation and later the name Stryker Trauma was adopted. Prof. Letournel initially chaired the first course, Fractures of the Acetabulum and Pelvis in Paris in 1984 and at his invitation I joined the faculty. Today Stryker Trauma continues to sponsor this course under the chairmanship of myself and others.

Letournel thereby established the now well-accepted acetabular and pelvic fracture treatment principles of perfect reduction and stable fixation and also brought to acceptance the importance of specialized instrumentation and implants to achieve this end.In 1998 I was asked to be a consultant for Stryker Trauma for their educational program and for revising and updating the acetabular and pelvic set. My past involvement with the Paris courses as a faculty member and later Chairman as well as my preference for theLetournel designed Osteo plates made accepting this offer logical.

As per Letournel‘s original specifications the curved plates areavailable in two radii: 108mm to match the curvature of the malepelvic brim and 88mm to match the female. The main complaintthat was heard regarding the plates was that they were too stiffand the holes were too far apart. The curved plates are nowslightly less stiff and the hole interval is reduced to 16mm from18mm. A new plate called the MPS Flex plate has also beenadded with a 12mm hole spacing and flexibility similar to a reconplate. Both plates are 2.5mm thick and the stiffness is controlledby hardening or annealing. The thin profile limits soft tissue intrusion and also facilitates improved screw angulation.

Though the flexible MPS Flex plate has shown to be adequate formany fixations, it is my opinion that a number of surgeons chooseit too frequently and, to the detriment of fixation. It may seemconvenient that when this plate is applied incompletely contoured,tightening the screws completes the contouring. What this meansin effect is that the bone is controlling the contour of the platerather than the plate controlling the contour of the fractured bone.

I prefer the standard curved and straight plates for the majority of fixations including posterior wall fractures. I reserve use of theMPS Flex plate for fractures that require the closer hole spacing orextreme contouring.

The current set includes the clamps and reduction aids that I consider most valuable. This brochure and our education courseswill help the surgeon learn their application. In many ways theinstruments and their use is more important than the plates thatare chosen, just as reduction is usually a more important problemthan fixation. An important reduction instrument that is notincluded is the orthopedic extension table. The most effectivetable to date is the Tasserit table, previously called the Judet table.

It is inevitable that surgeons that use this set will wish at times for a slightly different plate that is not in the box, or a clamp ofanother design. Surgeons who address these fractures frequently(as I do) will probably keep an additional box of items that areoccasionally useful. To make a set however that is affordable andwidely useful, the contents must be carefully chosen. It is expectedthat the set will evolve as surgeons contribute their comments.

Judet and Letournel concluded early on the most important factorin a successful operation was a perfect pre-operative understandingof the X-rays and fracture pattern. The same is true today. The surgeon’s knowledge, skill and dedication remain the primarydeterminants of the patient`s outcome, and the design of this set seeks to facilitate this.

INTRODUCTION

CASES AND TRAYSThe Matta Pelvic System consists of four differentcases with a variety of dedicated, removable inserts. The two plate racks, the screw rack and the trayinserts for the basic instruments, offer optimum modularity for storage and sterilization. The pre-formed inserts for the basic instruments allow for easy access to the instruments which are arranged in a logical order.

PLATES AND SCREWSIn addition to the extra long 3.5mm and 4.5mm self-tappingcortical screw range, the Matta Pelvic Set (“MPS”) includesa selected range of partially threaded 6.5mm cancellousscrews. These offer the option of performing a strong independent interfragmentary Lag–Screw fixation withoutthe need for an additional screw set.The ”all in one“ implant case contains a wide range ofpelvic and acetabular plates together with a dedicatedSymphysis plate.

DRILLS AND TAPSContained within the basic instrument set are all the relevant drill bits and taps corresponding to eachscrew diameter. A titanium oxide coating on the drillbits and taps for the 3.5mm screws enhances not onlythe cutting efficiency but the longevity and improvedvisual identity of each instrument. While all of the cortical screws in the set are self-tapping, the inclusionof taps offers clinicians the option of pre-tapping indense cortical bone.

INDICATIONS

The Matta Pelvic System is indicated for fractures of the:

•Pelvic Ring

•Acetabulum

•Sacrum

•Ilium

•Sacroiliac joint dislocations

•Symphysis Pubis disruption

•Revision surgery of pseudoarthroses, non-unions and mal-unions

•Osteotomies

•Arthrodeses

Since traumatology products often must be used in emergencysituations in order to treat patients with acute injuries, the following contraindications may be of a relative or absolutenature, and must be taken into account by the attending surgeon:

•Any active or suspected latent infection in or about the affected area.

•Any mental or neuromuscular disorder which would create an unacceptable risk of fixation failure or complications inpostoperative care.

•Metal sensitivity, documented or suspected.

•Obesity. An overweight or obese patient can produce loads on the implant which can lead to failure of the fixation of thedevice or to failure of the device itself.

•Any time implant utilization would interfere with anatomicalstructures or physiological performance.

•Other medical or surgical conditions which would preclude the potential benefit of surgery.

SCREW FIXATION

DRILL GUIDESUse the Double Drill Guide REF 702417 and the 4.5mm Drill (Double Drill Guide REF 702418 and Drill 3.5mm forscrews 3.5mm) to overdrill the near cortex. Insert the opposite side of the relevant drill guide into the pre-drilled holefor precise axial alignment and use the corresponding drill for the corehole of the screw. This procedure will preventthe loss of reduction and fixation during screw insertion.

The 3.5mm self-tapping cortical screws are the recommendedscrews for plate fixation and are best adapted to the pelvic bone. 4.5mm cortical screws are often too large and their voluminousheads create a slight prominence above the plates, which maylead to soft tissue irritation in certain applications.

Often independent (isolated) interfragmentaryLag–Screws are used in conjunction withpelvic and acetabular fixation.The screw thread takes no purchase in thenear fragment because the screw has a shaft with no thread, and/or the drill hole in the near fragment is equal to the outsidediameter of the screw. The cortex in the nearfragment has to be overdrilled, therefore, to create a ”gliding“ hole. Overdrilling the cortex in this manner allows the screw thread to take purchase only in the bone of the opposite fragment.

Possible Lag–Screw using 4.5mm cortical or 6.5mm cancellous screws:

a) From the crest of the anterior border (Screw 1) in the thickness of the iliac wing.It is always possible to insert ascrew from the antero-inferioriliac spine, passing 1 or 2cmabove the acetabulum (length100–120mm) (Screw 2)

b) Along the axis of the anterior column (Screw 3).This screw isvery useful to secure a transversefracture or an anterior column,through an extended ilio–femoralapproach. The screw should startfrom the posterior aspect of theiliac wing pillar, approx.3-4cmabove the acetabulum.

c) In the thickness of the iliacwing, but from posterior toanterior, starting from the posterior part of the iliac wingor the posterior–superior iliacspine to reduce a sacroiliacjoint fracture dislocation(screws 4 and 5)

d) Along the axis of the posterior column (screw 6)

For all these Lag–Screws, it is essential to drill intermittently, step by step, and change the direction of the drill if you feelpenetration of a cortex. Remain in the correct axis andadvance the drill as far as possible.

INDEPENDENT INTERFRAGMENTARYCOMPRESSION

Therefore, these screws should only be used exceptionally to fix a plate, i.e. when a smaller screw does not get sufficient purchase.Furthermore, the plate holes are designed to accept introductionof 3.5mm screws inserted at extreme angles, up to 35 degrees in all directions. This capability is essential as it must be possibleto avoid penetrating the hip joint or to be able to drive a screwobliquely in the area of the iliac bone, avoiding a previouslyinserted isolated screw.

REDUCTION INSTRUMENTS

The Matta Pelvic System forceps and other reduction instrumentsare designed for use with the irregular, large and flat bony surfaces of the pelvic region. The angles and length of the jaws accommodate the innominate bone from the crest to thepelvic brim and cope with the various surgical approaches.Reduction of acetabular fractures are best performed on the orthopedic extension table allowing distal and lateral traction.

REDUCTION FORCEPSWITH POINTSThese forceps can be applieddirectly to the bone`s surface orused with shallow drill holes.

FARABOEF FORCEPSThe versatile Faraboef clamps can be used to grasp and manipulate the iliac wing or as reduction forceps with provisional screws of either3.5mm or 4.5mm diameter.

13

REDUCTION INSTRUMENTS

REPOSITIONING FORCEPS,TYPE MATTAThe two oblique forceps, type Mattaare designed such that the handlesangle away from the critical soft tissue structures and out of line of sight. The sharp points provide a secure hold on the pelvic surfaceswhile the balls prevent penetration of bone with a thin cortex.

REDUCTION FORCEPS,2x1 JAWSThis long forceps with threepointed ball tips allows reductionof perpendicular fractures. Thelong handles provide increasedleverage for difficult reductions.These forceps are also availablein a 1x1 Jaws version.

REDUCTION FORCEPS

These two forceps have beendesigned to be used with either3.5mm or 4.5mm screws (3.5mmversion available in left or rightoption). The screws inserted onopposite sides of the fractureallow considerable reductionforces and manipulation in allthree planes.

SCIATIC NERVERETRACTORTwo sizes available for optimalsoft tissue retraction.

ASYMMETRICALVERBRUGGE FORCEPSSometimes, for easier reduction,only one screw is inserted onwhich one jaw of the Verbruggeforceps is applied. The other jaw then takes direct hold onanother part of the bony surface. Example: The angle of the greatersciatic notch.

STRAIGHT BALL SPIKEThis reduction instrument is usedas a pusher with pointed ball tipto reduce bone fragments. To distribute the reduction forcesover an increased area, theSpiked Disc can be clipped ontothe ball tip.

PLATE BENDING

R.Niklaus / 5.12.2001

It is necessary to correctly shape the plate in such a way as to perfectly apply it to the reduced contour of the pelvis or the acetabulum. The fitting of the plate on the bony surface should be as perfect as possible so the insertion of screws will not cause thefragments to change position (Figures 1 & 2).

It’s an important fact that the plate must be bent, as far as possible in the spacesbetween the holes so as to alter them as little as possible (Figure 6). It is a wellknown fact that rectangular plates do not bend in a regular fashion but rather at the level of their holes (Figure 7). Thus Sherman type plates with equal holespacing and narrowing between the holes are best adapted to such shaping andallow for a perfect adaptation to the pelvic contours.

For a plate to apply perfectly on a bone, it must be possible to shape it in all directions:

• bend it along it’s main axis (Figure 3a, 3b)

• bend it along it’s main axis (twist), to give it an helicoidal shape (Figure 4a, 4b)

• finally bend it “on the flat” to adapt to the curves of the iliac crest or the upper aspect of the pelvic brim, or to make it possible to span a fragment of the posterior wall or posterosuperior wall along it’s major axis (Figure 5a, 5b)

CorrectPrecise fit of theplate. No danger of displacement ofthe fragments duringscrew insertion.

IncorrectWhen tightening the screws, the fragment will be drawn towardsthe plate.

In certain instances it is desirable to contour the plate to a slight mismatch with the bone. Subsequent insertion and tighteningof the screws causes the plate to manipulate the bone, therefore aiding in obtaining or maintaining the reduction.

SMALL FRAGMENT SET

This system offers multiple options for the most common treatments of small–bone fractures. A selection of seven plates is available, each featuring K-wire and reduction holes designed toassist with primary stabilization and rounded plate ends which offer the option of subcutaneousplate insertion. The screws have a new self-cutting design and also include a small range of 2.7mm screws for independent interfragmentary screw fixation. The unique instruments offer new possibilities to assist in the approach to small–bone fracture reduction and fixation.

MPS SYMPHYSIS PLATE

With 3.2mm thickness and an increased width through the midsection, this plate obviates theneed for contouring and cutting. The plate has rounded ends with no sharp edges and has a curved radius of 75mm designed for a better anatomic fit. The plate accepts either 3.5mm or 4.5mm screws which have a low profile when seated in the plate. This new design is availablein either a four or six–hole option in Stainless Steel.

DUPONT

The anatomically pre-contoured design of the Dupont plates makes them optimal for the treatment of distal humeral fractures including supracondylar and intra-articular. This design eliminates the needs for manual bending of ordinary plates intraoperatively, and minimizes theextensive dissection, which is necessary using standard plates.

BASIC FRAGMENT SET

This system offers multiple options for the most common treatments of long–bone fractures. The plates each feature K-wire and reduction holes designed to assist with primary stabilizationand a unique outer plate contouring which offers biomechanical advantages over other systems. A full range of instrumentation is complimented by the unique range of reduction clamps and forceps.

MATTA PELVIC SYSTEM

Designed by Joel M. Matta, M.D. the Matta Pelvic System, with four modular trays, features the latest innovations in Pelvic implants and instrumentation. The system includes a dedicatedSymphysis Pubis plate, differentiated curved radius plates designed to respect both male andfemale anatomies, and as a more malleable MPS Flex plate. The instruments can be easily han-dled and maneuvered around the anatomy without any restriction in visualization. Additional reduction forceps, like the 3.5mm Jungbluth, are unique and epitomize the innovation and practicality of this system.

CALCANEAL PLATE

This flat plate design allows contouring to either the left or right calcaneus. The low–profile1.2mm plate thickness can reduce potential peroneal tendon irritation and facilitate easier clo-sure. The plate also offers K-wire and reduction holes for improved provisional stabilization andreduction validation and is available in three standard sizes in either Stainless Steel or Titanium.
