7 AO Principles In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation. 1 They are: Anatomic reduction Stable fixation Preservation of blood supply Early, active mobilization The fundamental aims of fracture treatment in the limbs and fusion of the spine are the same. A specific goal in the spine is returning as much function as possible to the injured neural elements. 2 AO Principles as Applied to the Spine 3 Anatomic alignment In the spine, this means reestablishing and maintaining the natural curvature and protective function of the spine. By regaining this natural anatomy, the biomechanics of the spine can be improved, and a reduction of pain can be experienced. Stable internal fixation In the spine, the goal of internal fixation is to maintain not only the integrity of a mobile segment, but also maintain the balance and the physiologic three-dimensional form of the spine. 3 A stable spinal segment allows bony fusion at the junction of the lamina and pedicle. Preservation of blood supply The proper atraumatic technique enables minimal retraction or disturbance of the nerve roots and dura, and maintains the stability of the facet joints. The ideal surgical technique and implant design minimize damage to anatomical structures, i.e. facet capsules and soft tissue attachments remain intact, and create a physiological environment that facilitates healing. Early, active mobilization The ability to restore normal spinal anatomy may permit the immediate reduction of pain, resulting in a more active, functional patient. The reduction in pain and improved function can result when a stable spine is achieved. 1. M.E. Müller, M. Allgöwer, R. Schneider, and H. Willenegger: Manual of Internal Fixation, 3rd Edition.

8 Indications The Vectra and Vectra-T Systems are intended for anterior plate and screw fixation of the cervical spine (C2 C7) for the following indications: Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) Spondylolisthesis Spinal stenosis Tumors (primary and metastatic) Failed previous fusions Pseudarthrosis Deformity (i.e., kyphosis, lordosis and/or scoliosis) The Vectra-One system is intended for anterior plate and screw fixation of the cervical spine (C2 C7) for the following indications: Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) Contraindications Certain degenerative diseases or underlying physiological conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis may alter the healing process, thereby increasing the risk of implant breakage. Mental or physical impairment, which compromises or prevents the patient s ability to comply with necessary limitations or precautions, may place that patient at a particular risk during postoperative rehabilitation. Factors such as the patient s weight, activity level, and adherence to weight-bearing or load-bearing instructions have an effect on the stresses to which the implant is subjected. Contraindications for the use of Synthes Vectra Systems include active systemic infection or infection localized to the site of the proposed implantation. Any entity or condition that totally precludes the possibility of fusion, i.e., cancer, kidney dialysis, or osteopenia are relative contraindications. Other relative contraindications include obesity and foreign body sensitivity. In addition, the patient s activity level or mental capacity may be relative contraindications to this surgery. Warnings/precautions These devices are not approved for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. Synthes Spine 7

10 3 Position patient Patient positioning is critical for cervical fusion procedures. The patient should be placed on the operating table in a supine position with the patient s head securely immobilized. Confirm proper patient position by direct visualization before draping, and by radiograph. Always use caution when positioning the patient, as physiological alignment may not be attainable. 4 Approach Make a standard approach, to appropriately expose the cervical levels to be surgically treated. 5 Select and insert graft Instrument * Calipers Following the approach and decompression, insert the appropriately sized graft. Note: For recommended grafting technique, refer to the Synthes ACF Spacer Technique Guide. *Also available Synthes Spine 9

11 Implant Selection 1 Select plate Instrument Cervical Plate Bender Select a plate with appropriate hole spacing. After plate length has been determined, ensure that the prelordosed plate fits the anatomy. The plate contour can be adjusted using the cervical plate bender at the bend grooves of the plate. Caution: Repeated bending may weaken the plate. Do not bend the plate at the holes. Increase lordotic bend Decrease lordotic bend Vectra-T: Bending the shortest 1- and 2-level Vectra-T plates ( , , , and ) may impede the trans lational mechanism and is not recommended. These plates are made with additional lordosis. Vectra-One: Bending the shortest Vectra-One plates ( and ) is not recommended. 10 Synthes Spine Vectra, Vectra-T and Vectra-One Technique Guide

12 2 Secure with temporary fixation pins Cranial End Instruments Temporary Fixation Pin Insertion Screwdriver, self-retaining * Holding Sleeve, for Temporary Fixation Pin When the plate is positioned appropriately, secure it with a temporary fixation pin, using the insertion screwdriver and, if needed, the additionally available holding sleeve. All 3- and 4-level Vectra-T plates are designed with a recommended cranial end the end with the elongated holes. With the Vectra-T System, a stable discectomy-corpectomy combination can be achieved by allowing a corpectomy to be done on the cranial end and the discectomy to be done at the caudal end. Note: If the discectomy is done above the corpectomy, turn the plate around for optimal fixation. Caudal End Alternative techniques a. Using extraction screwdriver Temporary Fixation Pin Extraction Screwdriver To insert the temporary fixation pin, use the extraction screwdriver threaded into the top of the pin. b. Using temporary fixation pin driver * Temporary Fixation Pin Driver * Temporary Fixation Pin After the plate is placed in the appropriate position, secure it with the alternative temporary fixation pin inserted using the temporary fixation pin driver. *Also available Synthes Spine 11

13 Option 1: Awl and Self-drilling Screws (Variable-angle) 3 Break cortex Instrument Awl, for self-retaining screws Insert the awl into the screw hole at the desired screw angle. Push down and twist awl handle. Remove the awl by pulling straight up. Do not angle or lever the awl to either side. 4 Insert variable-angle screw Instrument Insertion Screwdriver, self-retaining Load the appropriate length variable-angle self-drilling screw onto the insertion screwdriver. Advance the screw until the head of the screw is fully seated in the plate and the plate is lagged to the bone. Notes: Vectra-T: Only variable-angle screws are recommended in the elongated holes of 3- and 4-level plates. The screwhead geometry of fixed-angle screws may impede translation. Any screw may be placed in the round screw holes. The total amount of translation can be customized (e.g., for a corpectomy) by removing carriage spacers and moving the carriages within the allowable range before screw placement. The carriage on the cranial end (for 3- and 4- level plates only) can translate 3 mm while all other carriages can translate 2 mm. Intermediate elongated holes allow screws to translate up to 2 mm. Vectra-One: Ensure that the pyramidal teeth are fully seated within the bone. 12 Synthes Spine Vectra, Vectra-T and Vectra-One Technique Guide

20 5 Insert screw Instruments Drill, Tap and Screw Guide, with post, (single barrel) Insertion Screwdriver, self-retaining Insert the appropriate length screw through the barrel of the DTS guide and advance it until the screwhead almost engages the plate (as indicated by the groove on the screwdriver shaft lining up with the top of the DTS guide). Retract the DTS guide by pulling it along the screwdriver shaft, just before the screw seats in the plate hole, to visually confirm that the screw is seating. Advance the screw until it lags the plate to the bone. Notes: Vectra-T: Only variable-angle screws are recommended in the elongated holes of 3- and 4-level plates. The screwhead geometry of fixed-angle screws may impede translation. Any screw may be placed in the round screw holes. The total amount of translation can be customized (e.g., for a corpectomy) by removing carriage spacers and moving the carriages within the allowable range before screw placement. The carriage on the cranial end (for 3- and 4- level plates only) can translate 3 mm while all other carriages can translate 2 mm. Intermediate elongated holes allow screws to translate up to 2 mm.

22 Implant Removal 1 Screwhead cleaning Instrument Screw Head Cleaning Tool If access to the screwhead is blocked by tissue, use the screwhead cleaning tool to clean out material. Insert the tool into the screwhead and twist the handle back and forth until material is removed. 2 Screw removal Instrument Extraction Screwdriver To remove the screw, the extraction screwdriver must be used. Insert the driver shaft into the screwhead recess. Thread the inner shaft into the mating thread of the screw by turning the inner shaft knob clockwise until fully tightened. 1 2 Caution: If the inner shaft knob is not fully tightened to the handle, breakage of the driver may occur and could potentially harm the patient. Advance the sleeve downward to contact the upper surface of the plate by turning the sleeve clockwise. While holding the sleeve, turn the handle counterclockwise to extract the screw. Note: After two screw removals from one hole of the plate, the plate must be replaced. 3 4 Caution: The extraction screw driver should only be used for screw removal; use of the extraction screwdriver for screw insertion may lead to driver and/or implant breakage.
