ALIANS FOREARM The ALIANS FOREARM range of plates includes two types of plates designed for orthopaedic surgery and trauma treatment of forearm fractures: © ALIANS MIDSHAFT O ALIANS ULNA Locking plates for forearm shaft Locking plate for ulnar shortening fractures osteotomy ALIANS MIDSHAFT -) TRAUMA INDICATIONS O Fixation of forearm shaft fractures O Fixation of forearm shaft non-unions © 4 plates with 8, 9, 13 or 15 holes NNOVATION MEANS MOTION

A L I A N S FO R E A R M ALIANS ULNA Distal hole: fixed-angle (5°) INDICATION FOR SCHEDULED SURGERY The plate bears the mark ‘DISTAL’ for proper positioning Ulnar shortening osteotomy TECHNICAL FEATURES Anatomically contoured implant: the edges and tips of the implant are rounded to minimize soft tissue irritation.

ALIANS ULNA : CUTTING AND COMPRESSION DEVICE COMPONENTS The block should be chosen according to: : 2 blocks (ANC171 and ANC172) to choose the side of the resection (right or left) and the approach (lateral, dorsal or palmar/volar) Each block includes: - A written indication of the corresponding side / approach: depending on the chosen side, these indications help determine the appropriate block and assemble the cutting and compression device. - A rack-and-pinion system allowing for optimal compression of the osteotomy sites. - The side: right or left - The selected approach: lateral, dorsal...

Volar approach Left side 1. Position the plate on the most distal part of the ulna making sure that the “distal-proximal” marks are correctly matched. The approach used and positioning of the plate may be lateral, dorsal or palmar (volar). 2. Adjust and secure the plate onto the distal part of the ulna using two locking screws (SOT3.5Lxx). For this purpose, drill (ANC089C) and directly read the drilling depth on the guide gauge (ANC186). 3. To make the insertion of the SOT3.5Lxx locking screws easier, widen the drilling made in the first cortex using the hand reamer (ANC463). Repeat these...

2 9. Remove the cutting guide to pull out the resected bone fragment. 10. Slightly loosen the two cortical screws (CT3.5Lxx) in the oblong slot so that the plate may be slid. 11. Insert the handle for compression (ANC170) through the drilling performed at step 6, and into the rack-and-pinion section of the block. Rotate the instrument (1) to perform compression of the osteotomy site (2). 12. While maintaining the compression, tighten up the cortical screws (CT3.5Lxx) into the proximal oblog slot. Compression level can be checked thanks to the graduations. 13. To maintain the compression,...
