� NCB Proximal Tibia – Surgical Technique

Introduction The NCB-PT Plate (Non-Contact Bridging for the Proximal Tibia) is an optimal plate solution for the treatment of complex fractures of the proximal tibia.

The system allows for polyaxial screw placement (30°) with subsequent screw locking. Before locking, the screws can act as lag screws and be used for fracture reduction; a benefit which is not offered with standard locking systems.

In the locked mode, the NCB-PT Plate acts as an internal fixator without contact between the plate and the bone surface reducing the risk of periosteal blood supply impairment.

The surgical technique is based on the well-known standard plate osteo-synthesis technique which gives the surgeon the feeling for bone quality during drilling and tightening of the screws. In the last step, all screws can be locked and made angularly stable.

The instrumentation includes a fully radiolucent targeting device for a minimally invasive surgical technique (MIS).

Materials: NCB plates and screws are made of ProtasulProtasul®-64 titanium alloy Ti�l�, IS�� ��3�-3,titanium alloy Ti�l�, IS�� ��3�-3, �STM F136

Preoperative Planning and Patient Positioning

Select the appropriate length and type of the NCB-PT Plate using X-rays and the X-ray template.

Based on the fracture type and the specific patient condition determine the surgical approach (i.e., open technique or MIS) to be performed.

Place the patient in a supine position. Lower the contralateral leg slightly to make sure that lateral and �P X-ray views can be obtained clearly.

Support the knee while allowing the leg to move freely.

NCB Proximal Tibia – Surgical Technique 11

Open Technique

Incision� lateral incision is recommended for extra-articular and laterally-based type 41-B fractures, according to the ��T� classification.

For ��T� type 41-C fractures with a complete articular fracture, a straight anterolateral incision or short medial and lateral incisions are recommended.

To facilitate fracture healing do not strip the periosteum.

Fracture ReductionRestore the articular surface (if needed) and reduce the fracture prior to inserting the plate. Bone fragments can be secured with �.0mm K-wires. Make sure that K-wires do not interfere with the future location of the plate and screws.

Note: Check fragment position with an image intensifier.

Optional: Bone SpacersTwo bone spacers can be used in the diaphysis to avoid contact of the plate with the bone surface reducing the risk of periosteal blood supply impairment.

The spacers are available in sizes of 1mm, �mm and 3mm.

Note: Insert adequate bone spacers into the plate before plate insertion.Spacers are single use only and they can be removed after locking the screws.

Insertion of NCB-PT PlateInsert the plate between the anterior tibialis muscle and the periosteum.

The plate should be placed as close as possible to the cartilage.

Temporarily fix the plate proximally and distally with �.0mm K-wires through the small holes in the plate.

Check the plate position and the fracture alignment with an image intensifier in both planes. Make sure the leg axis has been restored.

Note: The plate is anatomically shaped. Do not bend or contour the plate to avoid damage of the locking mechanism.

Insertion of NCB Screws � maximum of thirty degrees of screw angulation is allowed in all plate holes. Use the NCB Drill Guide to avoid exces-sive screw angulation with consequen-tial failure of the locking mechanism.

Cancellous ScrewsFor the �.0mm cancellous screws, use the NCB Drill Guide �.�mm. To ensure correct use of the drill guide, press the drill guide into the plate hole in a perpendicular position and then tilt it into the preferred position. The drill guide needs to be in constant contact with the bottom ring of the hole.

Use the �.�mm drill bit for the �.0mm cancellous screws.

Use the NCB Depth Gauge to determine the appropriate screw length.

Insert NCB Cancellous Screws using the NCB-PT Hexagonal Screwdriver, and apply compression if needed. Cancellous screws are partially threaded and can be used as lag screws.

Depending on fracture type, in the epiphyseal and metaphyseal areas, screws should be tightened to reduce the fracture and obtain close contact between the plate and the bone in order to buttress the fracture.

Note: Tighten the bone screws by hand only.

Repeat this procedure to insert all the necessary NCB Cancellous Screws.

It is recommended that the most proximal cancellous screws be placed parallel to the tibia plateau.

Check the fracture reduction, plate position and the leg axis with an image intensifier.

To secure the angular stability insert the NCB Locking Caps on all the cancellous screws used. Tighten the locking caps with the NCB Torque Screwdriver 6Nm, until a clicking sound is heard.

Note: �lways use the torque screwdriver to tighten the locking caps and make sure the screwdriver is not tilted during its usage. Failure to do so could damage the hex drive and might complicate extraction of the implant.

Remove the proximal K-wire.

Optional Cannulated Cancellous ScrewsNCB Cannulated Cancellous Screws are self-drilling and self-tapping. These screws can be precisely placed over the NCB Guide Wire, ∅ 1.6mm. � cannulated drill bit can be used to pre-drill hard cortical bone.

Insertion of the ∅ 1.6mm NCB Guide Wire Use the NCB Drill Guide to avoid excessive angulation of the cannulated screws with consequential failure of the locking mechanism.

For the 4.�mm cannulated cancellous screws insert the NCB-PT Drill Guide ∅ 3.3/1.6mm into the NCB Drill Guide ∅ 3.3mm.

Press the drill guide into the plate hole, tilt it into the preferred position and insert the NCB Guide Wire with threaded tip.

Note: Use only the NCB Guide Wire ∅ 1.6mm, L = 190mm.Failure to do so misleads the screw length measurement.

Use the NCB Drill Guides to avoid an inclination > 30° when inserting the NCB ∅ 1.6 guide wire

Insertion of the Cannulated Cancellous Screws Remove the NCB Drill Guide ∅ 3.3mm and NCB-PT Drill Guide ∅ 3.3/1.6mm and determine the screw length from the measurement with the NCB-PH/PT Measuring Device along the NCB Guide Wire.

For hard cortical bone it is possible to use the ∅ 3.3mm NCB-PT Cannulated Drill Bit.

Note: Use the ∅ 3.3mm NCB-PT Cannulated Drill Bit only for the lateral cortex to make sure that the NCB Guide Wire does not fall out.

Use the cannulated hexagonal screwdriver to insert the cannulated self-drilling screws over the 1.6mm NCB Guide Wire.

To achieve the final angular stability, remove the NCB Guide Wire and tighten the locking cap with the torque screwdriver 6Nm, until the clicking sound is heard.

Note: It is important to remove the NCB Guide Wire prior to inserting the locking cap because the axial directions for the cannulated screws and locking cap may be different.

MIS Technique

MIS is recommended for simple and/ or extra-articular fractures. �n open approach is recommended in the proxi-mal area to restore the articular surface.

Plate Hole Numbering SystemTo target the correct plate holes there is a numbering system on the targeting devices.

Screw holes in the proximal and meta-physeal areas are indicated with Greek letters (α, β, γ, δ and ε). Screw holes in the shaft area are indicated with Roman numbers (1 to 13 according to plate length).

Incision and Fracture Reduction� lateral incision should start proximal to Gerdy’s tubercle and should be extended for about �0mm distally.

Note: Incision length will vary according to the type of fracture.

Reduce the fracture as described in the open technique. Take care that K-wires used to temporarily stabilize the fracture do not interfere with the future plate location.

To place the most distal screw, exchange the NCB Stabilization Bolt with the NCB-PT Drill Guide and protection sleeve and follow the procedure described above.

Unscrew the connecting bolt to remove the targeting device.

Note: when using the long plate (i.e. 13 holes) the last three distal screws may interfere with the Superficial Peroneal nerve. Therefore, a slightly longer stab incision is recommended to visualize and avoid damage to the Superficial Peroneal nerve.

Implant Removal

To remove the NCB-PT Plate, first remove all the locking caps. Then loosen all the NCB Bone Screws without completely removing them (this prevents rotation of the bone plate when removing the last screw). Then, completely remove all the bone screws.

Note: Make sure that the tip of the NCB-PT Screwdriver is correctly placed in the hex drive of the locking caps and/or NCB Screws. Failure to do so could damage the hex drive and complicate the extraction of the implant.

Removal Tips• Re-assemble the NCB Targeting Device to remove the shaft screws if the MIS approach was used for implantation. The targeting device ensures that the axial direction used during implantation is considered.

• In case of difficulties in loosening the NCB Screws, tighten the screws slightly before loosening them.
