SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
Variable Angle Locking Hand System Overview
Variable Angle Locking Technology
1.5 mm and 2.0 mm plates feature variable angle locking coaxial holes. Four columns of threads in the variable angle locking hole provide four points for threaded locking between the plate and the Variable Angle Locking Screw to create a fixed-angle construct at the desired screw angle.x 1.5 mm variable angle plate holes accept: – 1.5 mm variable angle locking screws
– 1.5 mm cortex screws – 1.5 mm locking screws. These screws can only
be used on-axisx 2.0 mm variable angle plate holes accept: – 2.0 mm variable angle locking screws – 2.0 mm cortex screws – 2.0 mm locking screws. These screws can only be
used on-axisx Variable Angle Locking Screws can be angled anywhere
within a 30° conex 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm cortex screws can be used in the
plate positioning slots, if present, for traditional compression and fixation
Locking Technology
x 1.3 mm plates feature locking, coaxial holes. Fully threaded locking holes provide threaded locking between the plate and the locking screw to create a fixed-angle construct
x 1.3 mm locking plate holes accept: – 1.3 mm locking screws

1When implanting this plate, the following screw orderplacement is suggested.
x Place a cortex screw in the elongated hole (1), leaving the screw slightly loose. Screw placement is at the midaxial line. Place plate prior to the K-wire so that the cortex screw can be positioned at the midaxial line
x Provisionally fix the condyles. Place a K-wire in the center of the condyle, so the wire is located between the two distal holes (2). The K-wire should be placed in the center of the axis of the joint. K-wire placement is relative to the fan-shaped, central collateral ligament. Note that the footprint of the ligament is larger than the center of the axis. Make small adjustments to K-wire placement to avoid intra-articular placement of screws, while still creating a stable construct. Variations in K-wire placement are at surgeon’s discretion, considering periarticular tissue and fracture size. For 1.3 mm plates, use a 0.6 mm K-wire. For 1.5 mm plates, use a 0.8 mm K-wire
x Adjust the plate along the bone shaft, as necessary, so that the K-wire abuts the plate. Tighten the cortex screw in the elongated hole
x Place a screw in most distal hole (3)x Place screw in most volar hole (4)x Confirm placement and depth of screws under
radiographic imagingx Place remaining screws in the head and plate shaft,
depending on fracture pattern

Assemble the screwdriver shaft to the Screwdriver Handle.
For 1.3 mm and 1.5 mm screws, use the T4 STARDRIVE screwdriver shaft (03.130.010, with yellow and red bands). The tip of the T4 screwdriver is gold-colored.
For 2.0 mm screws, use the T6 STARDRIVE screwdriver shaft (03.130.020, with blue band).
The screwdriver and screws are designed to be self-retaining. To attach the screw to the screwdriver, position the screwdriver directly in line with the screw with no tilting.
Ensure that the screwdriver tip engages the star-shaped recess in the screw. It may be necessary to rotate the screwdriver up to a quarter turn to fully align the star-shaped screwdriver tip into the screw recess. In addition, a tactile sensation may be noticed when the screwdriver shaft is fully aligned with the screw recess. Apply firm axial pressure downwards to ensure that the screw is fully seated before removing the screw from the implant module. Remove the screw from the implant module in a straight vertical position.
Using the screwdriver, place the screw on the scale of the implant module, to confirm the length of the screw.
Insert the screw through the barrel of the reduction forceps.
Confirm screw placement under radiographic imaging. Once the screw has been inserted, remove the forceps from the bone.

Instrument
03.130.271 Plate Cutter for 1.3 mm - 2.0 mm Plates
If desired, plate cutters can be used to adjust the length of the plate. The Plate Cutter (03.130.271) is designed to cut all plates within the Variable Angle Locking Hand System.
Important: To prevent sharp edges from causing soft tissue irritation, place the plate top side up on the cutters to ensure any sharp edges will angle towards the underside of the plate.
Trim the plate to the desired length using the cutters, and remove any burr by using the rasp on the side of the cutters.
The Plate Cutter creates a straight cut.

Note: When using the Plate Cutter, In-Line, insert the plate top side up in its respective color coded area on the cutter. This is to ensure that the plate holes are protected during cutting. Insert the plate so that the section of the plate to be implanted is located on the side that is color-coded. Ensure that the plate is correctly inserted on the post.
This cutter is designed to be used to cut straight shafts of plates within the Variable Angle Locking Hand System.
Note: The Plate Cutter is designed with 2 silicone inserts in the jaws to hold the cut segment of the plate after cutting. The Plate Cutter, In-Line, is designed with 1 silicone insert. Remove the silicone insert(s) prior to cleaning and sterilization.

4 Determine Screw Type
Depending on the individual case, cortex screws or Variable Angle Locking/locking Screws may be inserted. Locking or cortex screws can be used in any of the screw holes, with the exception of the nonthreaded elongated hole, if present.
The elongated hole is designed for adjustment of plate position. The elongated hole accepts cortex screws only. Leave the cortex screw slightly loose in the elongated hole while adjusting plate position, as necessary. Tighten the cortex screw once plate placement has been confirmed.
If a combination of locking and cortex screws is planned, a cortex screw should be inserted first to pull the plate to the bone. If a locking screw is inserted first, ensure that the plate is held securely to the bone, to avoid spinning the plate as the screw is locked in place.

Select a drill bit based on the size of the screw. Drill bits are color-coded to the size of the associated screw.
Note: The fracture pattern will dictate the optimal screw placement.
Fracture pattern will determine the order of screw insertion. In all cases, make sure the plate is in the correct position and flush with the bone. If placing a plate on the condyle, be cognizant of reducing and restoring the articular surface.

Variable Angle Locking Double Drill Guide—with Cone (03.130.220, 03.130.320)
Variable Angle Locking Screws can be inserted using 2 different techniques, depending on which end of the drill guide is used:
Fully insert the variable angle end of the drill guide into the Variable Angle Locking hole. When drilling, the tip of the drill guide should remain fully seated in the hole
Drill the hole with the drill bit at the desired angle within the cone by positioning the drill bit.
Precaution: When using the variable angle end of the guide, it is important to not angulate more than 15° from the central axis of the screw hole. Over angulation could result in difficulty locking the screw.
Fully insert the coaxial end of the drill guide into the Variable Angle Locking hole and drill.
Variable Angle

Postoperative Treatment
Postoperative treatment with locking plates or variable angle locking plates does not differ from conventional internal fixation procedures.
When inserting screws, use a two-finger tightening technique.
For Variable Angle Locking and Locking Screws, confirm screw placement and length under radiographic imaging prior to final tightening.
For Variable Angle Locking and Locking Screws, screw insertion is complete when the screw is flush to the plate.
Confirm screw position and depth under radiographic imaging.
Precaution: Avoid penetrating the articular surface.

If removal of the implant is necessary, the following instructions are suggested.
1Preoperative Planning
To ensure that the appropriate screw removal instruments are obtained, the surgeon should have the following information before implant removal:x Implant typex Time of implantationx Material (steel, titanium)x Recess geometry and dimension of screwsx Any visible damage to the implant (eg, broken
screw shaft)
2Clean Recess
Instrument
