AO Principles In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation. 1, 2 The principles as applied to the Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4 / 2.7 are as follows: Anatomic reduction The Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4 / 2.7 can be anatomically shaped to restore proper anatomic reduction of the Cuboid and Navicular bones in the foot. Stable fixation The Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates utilize VA locking technology. Locking the screw to the plate creates a fixed angle construct that is a stronger construct compared to a similar nonlocking plate and screw combination. Ideal for osteopenic bone, the load in a locked construct is shared between the plate and the screw increasing fixation stability. Preservation of blood supply The plates are anatomic and can be contoured for precise application to the bone minimizing soft tissue and bone dissection. The plates are low profile to allow for good soft tissue coverage and improved blood supply to the fracture site. Early, active mobilization The VA locking tarsal plates combined with the proper AO technique provide stable fracture fixation with minimal trauma to vascular supply. This helps to create an improved environment for bone healing, accelerating the patient s return to previous mobility and function. 1 Müller ME, Allgöwer M, Schneider R, Willenegger H (1995) Manual of Internal Fixation. 3rd, expanded and completely revised ed. 1991.

Indications The Synthes VA locking tarsal plates are intended for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of the Cuboid and Navicular bones, particularly in osteopenic bone. Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4/2.7 Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 5

Screw Insertion Techniques The plate holes of the Variable Angle LCP Technology 2.4 / 2.7 accept 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm Variable Angle (VA) Locking Screws. Screws can be inserted using two different techniques: Variable angle technique Pre-defined nominal angle technique Variable angle technique To drill variable angle holes at a +/-15 deviation from the nominal trajectory of the locking hole, insert the tip of the conical VA-LCP drill sleeve (03.211.003 / 03.110.023) and key into the cloverleaf design of the VA-LCP hole. VA-LCP drill sleeve, conical, for Drill Bits (03.211.003/03.110.023) Precaution: It is important not to angulate more than 15 from the central axis of the screw hole. Overangulation may result in difficulty while locking the screw and inadequate screw locking. Pre-defined nominal angle technique The fixed-angle VA-LCP drill sleeve (03.211.004 / 03.110.024) only allows the drill bit to follow the nominal trajectory of the locking hole. Use of funnel-shaped VA-LCP Drill Sleeve VA-LCP Drill Sleeve, coaxial, for Drill Bits (03.211.004/03.110.024) 6 DePuy Synthes Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4/2.7 Surgical Technique

VA Locking Navicular Plate 1 Approach Make a dorsal longitudinal incision from the midneck of the talus towards the base of the second metatarsal. It is important to preserve neurovascular and tendinous structures. It may be necessary to open the talonavicular joint capsule to allow visualization of the joint. To minimize the potential for vascular damage, strip only a small segment of the capsule from the navicular bone. 2 Contour plates Instrument 03.211.005 Bending Pliers for VA Locking Plates The VA Locking Navicular Plate can be contoured to fit the specific anatomy and fixation options. The bending pliers are designed to protect the variable angle holes during contouring. The feature on the pliers lines up with the cloverleaf design in the plate. Two pliers are used to contour the plate. Precaution: If possible, bend the plate between the VA holes. Do not deform the threaded part of the holes or overbend the plates during bending as this may adversely affect insertion of VA locking screws. Warning: Do not repeatedly bend the plates back and forth as this may weaken the plate. Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4/2.7 Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 7

With this final locking step, the screws are securely locked in the plate to achieve maximum strength of the plate-screw interface. 22 DePuy Synthes Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4/2.7 Surgical Technique

MRI Information Torque, Displacement and Image Artifacts according to ASTM F 2213-06, ASTM F 2052-06e1 and ASTM F2119-07 Non-clinical testing of worst case scenario in a 3 T MRI system did not reveal any relevant torque or displacement of the construct for an experimentally measured local spatial gradient of the magnetic field of 3.69 T/m. The largest image artifact extended approximately 169 mm from the construct when scanned using the Gradient Echo (GE). Testing was conducted on a 3 T MRI system. Radio-Frequency-(RF-)induced heating according to ASTM F2182-11a Non-clinical electromagnetic and thermal testing of worst case scenario lead to peak temperature rise of 9.5 C with an average temperature rise of 6.6 C (1.5 T) and a peak temperature rise of 5.9 C (3 T) under MRI Conditions using RF Coils [whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2 W/kg for 6 minutes (1.5 T) and for 15 minutes (3 T)]. Precautions: The above mentioned test relies on non-clinical testing. The actual temperature rise in the patient will depend on a variety of factors beyond the SAR and time of RF application. Thus, it is recommended to pay particular attention to the following points: It is recommended to thoroughly monitor patients undergoing MR scanning for perceived temperature and/or pain sensations. Patients with impaired thermo regulation or temperature sensation should be excluded from MR scanning procedures. Generally it is recommended to use a MR system with low field strength in the presence of conductive implants. The employed specific absorption rate (SAR) should be reduced as far as possible. Using the ventilation system may further contribute to reduce temperature increase in the body. Variable Angle LCP Tarsal Plates 2.4/2.7 Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes 33
