It offers guidance that you should heed, but, as with any such technical guide, each surgeon must consider the particular needs of each patient and make appropriate adjustments when and as required. Warning: All bone screws referenced in this document here are not approved for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine. A workshop training is required prior to first surgery. See package insert for a complete list of potential adverse effects, contraindications, warnings and precautions. The surgeon must discuss all relevant risks, including the finite lifetime of the device, with the patient, when necessary. 3

Introduction The VariAx Fibula Locking Plate System represents a new generation of implant technology The reconstruction and fixation of distal fibular fractures can now be enhanced by means of the patented SmartLock polyaxial locking mechanism. This powerful feature allows a surgeon to insert polyaxial locking or non-locking screws at variable angles with respect to the plate, so that they can be targeted to address the location and geometry of any given fracture, without the constraint of existing monoaxial plate designs or screw trajectories. -15 +15 Patented Polyaxial Locking Technology Each screw is made of titanium alloy, which is slightly harder than the plates. When a locking screw is used, the thread in the head of the screw reshapes the titanium used in the plate, thus allowing for a secure form-fitting geometry. This process is designed to result in a solid, locked connection between the head of the screw and the plate. Unique One-Step Locking Achieved by simply inserting a locking screw within the polyaxial locking range of ±15, without the need for further steps. Modular System Design The modular instrumentation system is designed for seamless integration of other products from the Stryker Foot portfolio. Color-Coding of Instruments The instruments are color-coded to facilitate ease-of-use during surgery. The SmartLock Locking Technology is patented (US 6,322,562; DE 43 43 117; EP 1 143 867) by Professor Dietmar Wolter, Hamburg, Germany. 4

Features & Benefits Precontoured Periarticular Plate Design The precontoured shape of the VariAx Fibula Plates was carefully designed using a comprehensive CT scan database of human fibulas. The end result is a precontoured plate that closely matches the average anatomical shape of the distal fibula, and thus requires minimal intra-operative plate contouring*. Low Profile Plate Design and Reduced Screw Head Prominence Each plate is designed to minimize soft tissue irritation by having a low profile design (only 1.3mm distally, and 2.0mm in the shaft portion). Furthermore, the screws are designed to have minimal head prominence when fully inserted in a plate, which helps further reduce the risk of irritation. K-Wire Holes in the Plate To allow for temporary fixation in order to ease plate application. Full-Range of 3.5mm Locking and Non-Locking Screws Offers intraoperative solutions to cover a broad range of clinical situations. Polyaxial Drill Guide Allows placement of locking screws at a variable angle (up to ± 15 ). Efficient T10 Screw Head Design All 3.5mm VariAx Fibula Locking Plate screws are designed with a T10 head. This screw head design facilitates efficient force transmission from the screwdriver blade to the screw, and helps reduce the risk of screw head stripping. Anodization Type II Optional Independant lag Screw Fixation A full range of non-locking VariAx screws are available for placement of independent lag screws. A Clustering of Distal Screws Allows for multiple points of fixation to treat comminuted fractures or fractures with limited distal bone stock. * MEM Research Center ISTB Fibula Bone Implant Fitting Project 5

Indications, Precautions & Contraindications Indications The VariAx Distal Lateral Fibula Locking Plate System is intended for use in internal fixation of the distal fibula. The physician s education, training and professional judgment must be relied upon to choose the most appropriate device and treatment option. Examples of Applications Weber A, B, C fractures of the distal fibula with and without syndesmotic injury Warnings and Precautions See package insert for warnings, precautions, adverse effects and other essential product information. The VariAx Fibula System has not been evaluated for safely and compatibility in the MR environment. The VariAx Fibula System has not been tested for heating or migration in the MR environment. Distal Fibula non-unions and malunions. Relative Contraindications The following contraindications may be of a relative or absolute nature, and must be taken into account by the attending surgeon: Patients with active infections or suspected latent infection, or marked local inflammation in or about the affected area Patients with limited blood supply Bone stock compromised by disease, infection or prior implantation Patients with metal allergies and foreign body sensitivity Obesity Patients having inadequate tissue coverage over the operative site Severely non-compliant patients with mental or neurological conditions who are unwilling or incapable of following postoperative care instructions Other medical or surgical conditions which would preclude the potential benefit of surgery Inadequate bone quantity and quality Patients with unstable physical and/ or mental health conditions 7

Operative Technique The Operative Technique listed below is designed to provide a general overview on the instruments and procedure required to implant a VariAx Fibula Plate. Planning and Preparation Clear identification and classification of the fracture site should first be established preoperatively using the appropriate methods and visualization. A lateral incision is typically used to perform an extra-periosteal exposure of the distal fibula. A direct reduction and provisional fixation of the fracture can frequently be achieved. If the fracture morphology is amenable, an independant lag screw can be inserted first (see page 14). Alternatively, indirect reduction techniques may be employed such as a distal lateral fibula plate. VariAx Fibula Plates can be removed from the plate tray and handled using the Forceps (64-20129), as shown. Although the plates are pre-contoured, additional contouring of the plates is possible using the Plate Bending Pliers (45-80010) when required based on local patient factors or anatomy. In order to reduce the likelihood of stress riser effect and reduce the fatigue properties of the implant, care should be taken to bend the plate in between holes. Please note: Excessive plate bending may lead to failure of the locking mechanism and should be avoided. 8

Operative Technique Having achieved reduction, the plate is selected and applied to the direct lateral surface of the distal fibula. The position should be adjusted to optimize fit and to allow for optimal screw fixation as per the fracture pattern and the preoperative plan. Fluoroscopy can be utilized as needed to confirm position. The plate can then be stabilized by the insertion of K-Wires to ensure anatomical alignment (proximally and distally). VariAx Fibula Plates include K-Wire holes that are designed to accommodate 1.4mm Trocar Tipped K-Wires (45-80200), for use in temporarily stabilizing the plate to bone. The K-Wire Cutting Pliers (45-80020) can be used to cut the K-Wires to the desired length. This instrument includes a silicon inlay which prevents the cut end of a K-Wire from being ejected from the instrument. 9

Operative Technique Preparation for Screw Insertion A drill guide must first be placed into a corresponding plate screw hole (in a plate), prior to pre-drilling a pilot hole. The Drill Guide for Circular Locking Holes (45-80001) must be used in all VariAx Fibula Plate holes. Use the end of the drill guide indicated with yellow color-coded lines to predrill for VariAx Fibula plating procedures. Yellow color-coding is associated with 3.5mm VariAx Foot and Ankle screws. Please note: The other end of the drill guide is indicated with black colorcoded lines, and is designed for use with VariAx Foot and Ankle Plates that accept 2.7mm screws. This end of the drill guide must not be used for VariAx Fibula procedures. The drill guide is designed to limit drilling to a ±15 angle with respect to the plate. Drilling at an angle greater than ±15 may prevent locking from taking place, and should be avoided. Always use the drill guide when predrilling a pilot hole, either for a locking or non-locking 3.5mm screw. Note: Drill guides should always fit securely within a screw hole a mismatch between the drill guide and the plate hole indicates that the wrong dimension drill guide has been chosen. 10

Operative Technique Preparation for Screw Insertion Use the drill to create a pilot hole through the drill guide. The 2.6mm Twist Drill (45-35010) is color-coded yellow to match the color associated with the 3.5mm drill guide. Although the locking and non-locking screws found in the VariAx Foot and Ankle system are self-tapping, when encountering hard bone a tap may be required. For 3.5mm screws the appropriate tap is similarly color-coded yellow (45-35005). Measure the depth of the predrilled hole using the Depth Gauge for 3.5mm screws (45-35001). As with the drills and drill guides, the appropriate depth gauge is color-coded with yellow lines indicating use with 3.5mm screws. Always measure the depth of the predrilled hole by inserting the depth gauge first through the plate, and then into the predrilled hole. Use depth gauge to attain appropriate screw length. The sleeve of the depth gauge must be fully inserted into the respective plate hole prior to measuring. Measuring without a plate will result in a false reading. 11

Operative Technique Preparation for Screw Insertion Assemble the appropriate Screwdriver Blade (with AO fitting) with the Screwdriver Handle, Revolving/Rigid, AO (45-85000). Please note: Only the yellow color-coded Screwdriver Blade, AO, T10 (45-35015) is used to insert 3.5mm screws. Begin by pushing the AO quickconnect sleeve towards the body of the Screwdriver Handle, insert the screwdriver blade into the AO quick-connect coupling, and then release the sleeve. Holding sleeves for screws can be used to securely attach a screw to the screwdriver during screw insertion. The yellow color-coded Holding Sleeve for 3.5mm screws (45-35030), must be used. Assemble the appropriate holding sleeve and slide it over the screwdriver until it engages, as shown. Push the holding sleeve back so that the tip of the screwdriver becomes visible. Engage the screwdriver tip with the head of the chosen screw, then push the holding sleeve forward, as shown. The holding sleeve will engage with the head of the screw, firmly holding it in place. The screw can then be removed securely from the screw rack, and the screw can be inserted into the plate. 12

Operative Technique Screw Insertion Insert the screw into the predrilled hole using the screwdriver assembly. As the screw head approaches the plate, draw the holding sleeve back from the screw head, and continue with final tightening then remove the screwdriver from the screw. Repeat drilling, measuring, and placement of locking or non-locking screws in the remaining holes, as required. Always remember to use the appropriate sized drill guide. Final Steps The highly efficient T10 interface (for 3.5mm screws) facilitates effective transmission of torque from the screwdriver blade to the screw. Intraoperative fluoroscopy is performed to confirm appropriate reduction and implant placement Additional surgical approaches and fixations (e.g. for the medial and/or posterior malleolar fractures) are then performed. 13

Operative Technique Optional: Independent Lag Screw Technique A 3.5mm VariAx Foot and Ankle Non-Locking Screw can be used as an independent lag screw to reduce fibula fractures, prior to fixation using a VariAx Fibula plate. The VariAx Foot and Ankle instrumentation system includes a Drill Guide for a 3.5mm Independent Lag Screw (45-80003), which is designed to only be used when drilling and overdrilling a hole for independent lag screw fixation using a 3.5mm screw. This technique must not be performed through a plate. The procedure for preparing a hole for independent lag screw insertion is as follows: 1. Anatomic reduction is achieved and maintained with a pointed reduction clamp. 2. Identify the appropriate drill guide. For 3.5mm screws, use the Drill Guide for 3.5mm Independent Lag Screws (45-80003). This drill guide has two sides/sleeves. Identify the side labeled Near Fragment, which is also color-coded. For 3.5mm independent lag screw fixation, the near fragment side of the appropriate drill guide will have yellow and red lines on the drill sleeve, and a red window. 3. The correct overdrill is directly placed against bone for drilling the near fragment. For 3.5mm screws, use the overdrill that is color-coded with a red and yellow line. (45-35020) (color- coded with a red and yellow line) 4. The red and yellow color-coded drill bit is then inserted through the identical red and yellow drill guide, and drilling is performed completely through the near fragment to create a gliding hole. This drilling must completely pass through the near fragment, and into the interfragmentary space, otherwise lagging of the far fragment will not be possible. 14

Operative Technique 5. The other side of the drill guide, which is yellow color-coded, is then fully inserted into the newly created gliding hole. For 3.5mm screws, the drill sleeve will have a yellow color-coding. This drill guide must be inserted as deep as possible into the overdrilled hole. The appropriate yellow color-coded 2.6mm drill (45-35010) is then chosen. Drilling is performed using the appropriate drill, into the far fragment. The end result of the drilling process will be a co-linear hole through the near fragment, and into the far fragment, where the diameter of the hole in the near fragment will be bigger than the diameter of the hole in the far fragment (thus allowing for lagging). 6. When appropriate, use the countersink (45-80040) to minimize screw head prominence and reduce stress riser effects to the bone during final screw tightening. 7. Screw length is then measured using the Depth Gauge for 3.5mm screws (45-35001). 8. The screw can then be inserted. A washer (40-35900) could also be used if necessary due to bone quality. If a washer is intended to be used the countersink should not be applied before. 15

Operative Technique Optional: Syndesmotic Screw Fixation Technique After completion of all fixation an intra-operative Cotton test or external rotation stress test is performed under fluoroscopy and syndesmotic reduction and fixation is performed as needed. - A stab incision is made medially near the metaphysis. - A large peri-articular clamp is used to obtain and maintain an anatomic syndesmotic reduction which should be confirmed fluoroscopically on the AP, mortise, lateral view by inspection or palpation via the surgical exposure. Using the drill guide the 2.6mm yellow color-coded drill bit is used to make a pilot hole parallel to the tibio-talar articulation and the trans-malleolar axis. Care must be taken to avoid excessive angulation through the plate beyond 15. One or two tri-cortical or tetra-cortical 3.5mm non-locking screws can be used to achieve syndesmotic fixation based on patient factors, injury factors, and surgeon preference.
