ACTIV ANKLE DISTAL AND DIAPHYSEAL FIBUL A MEDIAL MALLEOLUS P OLYAXIAL LOCKING FIXATION Precontoured implants P olyaxiality of 20° 2 surgical approaches: lateral and posterolateral Medial malleolus fixation

A CT I V A NK L E Indications: The ACTIV ANKLE range is intended for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies and pseudarthroses of the distal and the diaphyseal fibula, for the fixation of fractures of the medial malleolus and for the syndesmotic repair in adults. Contra-indications: • Serious vascular deterioration, bone devitalization. • Pregnancy. • Acute or chronic local or systemic infections. • Lack of musculo-cutaneous cover, severe vascular deficiency touching the focus. • Insufficient bone quality preventing the correct insertion of the screws into the bone. • Muscular deficit,...

T ECHNI C A L FE AT U R E S A PRECONTO UR ED IMPLA NT OPTIMAL ANATOMICAL CONGRUENCE PLATE BENDING The design of this implant is the result of a proprietary stateof-the-art mapping technology to establish the optimized congruence between the plate and the bone. T he diaphyseal part of the fibula can vary from one patient to the other. In the case of long plates, it is possible to bend the diaphyseal part of plates at each appropriate area using bending irons (ANC542) for an optimal fit to the bone anatomy, following the instructions below: > ending is only possible in the areas intended for...

S U R GI C A L T ECHNI Q U E PL ACEMENT OF THE LATERAL PL ATE PRELIMINARY REDUCTION OF THE FRACTURE WITH A SCREW Reamer Remark: As an osteosynthesis screw used alone cannot bear weight and resist shear stresses, a plate should be used to allow early mobilization. 1. Reduce and temporarily maintain the fracture with bone reduction forceps (ANC504), making sure not to hinder the subsequent positioning of the screw. Drill with the Ø2.7 mm drill bit (ANC089C) using the guide gauge 1 (ANC191). The drilling should be perpendicular to the line of fracture. 2. When a lag effect is desired,...

Remark: The fixation steps remain unchanged for Narrow (RTSLNx) or Posterolateral plates (RTxQ1). 11. For the diaphyseal fixation, drill using the guide gauge (ANC186) and insert the Ø3.5 mm locking screws (SOT3.5Lxx). For the Ø3.5 mm cortical screws (CT3.5Lxx) insertion, repeat this procedure using the guide gauge (ANC191) 2 . FINAL RESULT NB: To ease the insertion of the Ø3.5 mm locking screws (SOT3.5Lxx), use the reamer part of the 2-in-1 instrument (ANC083C) to widen the first cortex previously drilled. (2) In the case of a bicortical fixation, the drilling depth can be checked on the...
