Locking Small Fragment Overview

Product catalog summary
Nota Bene: This document is intended for healthcare professionals and outlines surgical techniques for uncomplicated procedures. The final treatment decision should be made by the surgeon based on the patient's specific needs.
Product Overview: The PERI-LOC Periarticular Locked Plating System is designed for both adult and pediatric patients, including those with osteopenic bone. It is used for fixing fractures in various bones such as the tibia, fibula, femur, and pelvis. The system includes disposable components for single use.
Introduction: The PERI-LOC system combines the benefits of locked and traditional plating, offering both locking and non-locking screw options. It is designed to resist angular collapse and aid in fracture reduction, featuring standardized, color-coded instruments for ease of use.
Design Features and Benefits: The system includes optimal plate contours based on cadaveric studies, streamlined instrumentation, and a unique screw hole design for various applications and customized configurations.
System Overview: The system includes a basic instrument set, base tray instruments, small fragment plate set, and small fragment screw set. It supports modularization to meet specific needs, including options for 4.0mm cancellous and cannulated screws.
Implant Overview: The system offers anatomically contoured locking plates for various bones, including clavicle, proximal humerus, distal humerus, olecranon, and tibia. Each plate is designed with specific features to optimize fit and fixation, with options for left/right specificity and various hole configurations.
Surgical Technique: Detailed procedures for fracture reduction and the use of specific locking plates for different bones are provided. The technique includes steps for screw insertion using various types of screws, such as cortex, locking, cancellous, and cannulated screws.
Calcaneal Locking Plate: Designed to match the lateral aspect of the calcaneus, these plates have a low profile to reduce tissue irritation and thicker locking screw holes for stability. They are available in left/right specific designs and in small and large sizes.
Utility Plates: The PERI-LOC™ Small Fragment Set includes locking and non-locking utility plates for various applications. Specifications include profile thickness, width, and shaft hole spacing for different plate types.
Screws: The document details various screws, including cortex, locking, and cannulated screws, with specifications such as head height, outer diameter, drive size, and thread pitch. Features include self-tapping flutes and compatibility with specific drivers.
Fracture Reduction and Plate Application: Guidelines for fracture reduction emphasize anatomical reduction before plate application. Techniques for provisional fixation using pins and K-wires are described, along with specific instructions for different plate types.
Clavicle Locking Plates: Selection and positioning guidelines are provided, with emphasis on anatomical fit and fracture pattern accommodation. Preoperative templates are available for planning.
Proximal and Distal Humerus Plates: Instructions for plate selection, positioning, and application are detailed, including techniques for proximal-first and shaft-first screw insertion.
Olecranon Locking Plate: Guidelines for plate selection, positioning, and contouring are provided, with emphasis on anatomical fit and fracture pattern accommodation.
Tibia Locking Plates: Detailed instructions for lateral proximal, medial distal, and anterolateral distal tibia locking plates are included, focusing on plate selection, positioning, and fixation techniques.
Plate Fixation: The document outlines the provisional fixation of plates using 2.7mm Provisional Fixation Pins and Locking Drill Guides. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate Calcaneal Locking Plate based on patient anatomy and fracture pattern, and provides guidance on plate contouring and positioning.
Screw Insertion: The choice of screws and their configuration is left to the surgeon's discretion. The document details the use of 2.7mm Cortex Screws, 2.7mm Locking Screws, 3.5mm Cortex Screws, 3.5mm Locking Screws, 4.0mm Cancellous Screws, and 4.0mm Cannulated Screws. Each section includes instructions on drilling, measuring, and inserting screws, with specific tools and techniques recommended for each type.
Drill Guides and Instruments: Various drill guides and instruments are specified for use with different screws, including Locking Drill Guides, Drill Guide Inserts, and Screw Depth Gauges. The document provides catalog numbers for each tool, ensuring precise identification and use.
Recommendations and Notes: The document includes several notes and recommendations, such as the importance of manual screw insertion to avoid over-insertion and the optional use of tapping in areas of increased bone density. It also highlights the need for regular calibration of certain tools, like the PERI-LOC 4.7NM Torque Limiter.
Conclusion: This technical document serves as a comprehensive guide for orthopedic surgeons, detailing the use of specific instruments and techniques for effective fracture fixation. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate tools and techniques based on individual patient needs and surgical circumstances.
Distal Tibia and Calcaneal Plate Set: Includes 3.5mm Medial Distal Tibia Locking Plates with varying hole counts and lengths, available for both left and right orientations. 3.5mm Anterolateral Distal Tibia Locking Plates and Calcaneal Locking Plates are also listed with specific catalog numbers and quantities.
Plate Trays: Includes small outer cases and lids, as well as specific trays for distal tibia and calcaneal plates.
Additional Plates: 2.7mm Reconstruction Locking Plates and 1/3 Tubular Plates are available in sterile options, with lengths and hole counts specified. 3.5mm Reconstruction Plates and various T Plates (Right Angle and Oblique) are also detailed.
Notes and References: Includes a reference to a study on the mechanics of locking hole inserts and fatigue performance of bridge plate constructs.

Design features and benefits Optimal plate contours The plate contours in the PERI-LOC™ system were determined by studying a large collection of cadaveric specimens at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Recon segments were added to plates that are specific to highly variable anatomic structures to assist with additional contouring. Unique, versatile screw hole design The PERI-LOC system features a unique screw hole that was designed to be used in a variety of applications at the surgeon’s discretion. Each screw hole accepts both locking and non-locking screw options and allows for up to...
