Indications Fixation of diaphyseal spiral fractures of long bones such as femur, tibia and humerus Cerclage fixation implants can be utilized for fixation of long oblique and spiral fractures of the diaphysis. They may be used in combination with screws, plates and intramedullary rods. (1, 2) Fixation of avulsion fractures of the greater trochanter (femur) and greater tubercle (humerus) Cerclage wiring techniques are widely used for the fixation of the greater trochanter and greater tubercle. Although isolated fractures of this type are rare they are very often seen in complex fractures of...

Advantages / Comparison Table 1. Ortholox is fully biocompatible 2. Ortholox has a simple and safe locking mechanism with a superior cerclage fixation capability. Its wide footprint on bone results less “pressure necrosis” unlike commonly observed in metal cables and wires (10) 3. Ortholox has no risk of unfavourable metal debris being generated inside the tissue which may cause decreased local immunity and early loosening of the hip prosthesis.(11, 12) 4. The band design is characterized by a relatively short operation time, little bleeding, little soft tissue stripping and less disruption...

Surgical Technique Two sizes of Cable Sleeve, small and large, are found in the instrument set. The most suitable size should be chosen according to the individual patient´s bone morphology. Due to flat shape of the band, it is important that due attention is paid to the orientation with respect to the titanium lock, so as to avoid twisting and ensuring a correct applic. Ortholox Cerclage Band Sleeve - Small Ortholox Cerclage Band Sleeve - Large The distal end of the band should be placed into the slot of the Band Sleeve which should be passed around the bone. The band should follow the...

Surgical Technique When the tip of the tensioner is advanced against the titanium lock and is seated in the slot on either side of the titanium lock, the band should be manually pulled towards the winding mechanism. Insert the end of the band into one of the slot on the rotating barrel and push it inside the body of the barrel in the direction of the arrow. Ensure that the twin prongs at the tip of the Tensioner are still firmly positioned on either side of the locking block.

With the band at optimum tension and the Cerclage Band Tensioner attached to the titanium lock, tighten the set screw on the titanium lock with the Straight Torque Handle and Screwdriver. Turn the screwdriver attached to the Straight Torque Handle clockwise until a "click" is heard, indicating that the set screw has reached its optimum tension Instruments After the locking the screw is secure, release the tension on the remaining part of the band by pressing down on the release trigger on the Cerclage Band Tensioner.
