Surgical Technique LCP 3.5 mm Plates

Arzzt Techniques Drift System ► PLACEMENT IN RADIUS AND ULNA ► PLACEMENT IN PROXIMAL HUMERUS ► PLACEMENT IN DISTAL AND MEDIA TIBIA This guide is made to expose the applications for the different kinds of Arzzt LCP 3.5 mm Plates in thoracic limb by experienced Orthopedics Trauma Surgeons in the treatment of fractures. intented to interfere with the surgeon's experience or with the each patient own needs, following the basic rules for fracture treatment.

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Plates Introduction Dritt System is used for placing different types of plates in the thoracic limb since there is a wide variety of options for its implementation, for example: 4 mm Humerus Plate with compression in the oval-shaped holes and/or at some point, the screws can be placed locked to the plate and thus results a higher fixing, especially in patients with poor bone quality. The LCP 3.5 and DCP plates accepting the 3.5 mm screws with the same dynamic compression principles or with plate fixing, allowing a comprehensive picture where they could be placed,...

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Plates Surgical Technique Depending on where the plate are going to place and the surgeon´s experience and preference, is the way in which the patient will be placed. It can be supine, prone or side. For humerus fractures it is recommended to place the patient on prone position with a support at the elbow level or in a table to hold the forearm and hand. For ulnar and radius fractures, it is recommended to place the patient in the supine position; there are two options: the first is charging the forearm and hand in a table and the second one, charging them in the...

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Plates Placement in Humerus The incision is made in the posterior side, it is dissected and the ulnar nerve is located, which must be isolated with a rubber band so that it can be handled; in some cases the triceps inter-muscular septum and anterior brachialis can be followed to reach the humerus and make the reduction and fracture fixation when the fracture is comminuted and it is recommended an olecranon osteotomy in an inverted “V” shaped and lifting the triceps on a proximal way up to where the surgeon wants or up to the humerus diaphysis can be seen and the...

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Plates Placement in Radius and Ulna The incisions are recommended in the posterior side depending on the fracture location in the half third and by enlarging them up to proximal or distal half third, it is dissected following the inter-muscular septa between the finger common extensor and the brief carpi radial extensor by continuing dissection, the radius diaphysis is located and the periosteal stripping is performed and the fracture reduction is made placing the plate on the lateral side. It can be performed on the anterior or palmar side following the radius...

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Plates Placement in Proximal Humerus For Humer plate placement, the approach is through a deltopectoral, temporarily keeping the reduction with Kirschner nails and the advantage of this plate is that it has holes for placement through it and it does not interfere to make the holes and place both normal and self-tapping screws in the plate and fix the proximal humerus. The Dritt Hand plate for radius metaphyseal distal can be placed in the dorsal or palmar side on a surgeon´s consideration and desire, as it can be placed facing to the right or left and it can also...

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Talus Plate Placement in Tibia Distal and Medial Talus plate is a special plate since it is placed on the distal and medial part of the tibia, it has a low profile and molded according to the tibia distal metaphysis. Indications: Tibia distal fractures and tibial pilon distal metaphyseal fractures.. Contraindications: Cutaneous loss Exposed fracture with cutaneous loss Cutaneous poor condition due to peripheral vascular failure. Approach: An antero-medial approach is performed, it is dissected by planes, taking care in the anterior tibial artery to avoid injure...

Arzzt Techniques LCP 3.5 mm Winkel Plate This is special plate within the arsenal for fracture treatment in different parts of the body, it is specially designed to keep the reduction of proximal unla fractures, olecranon, since it has the anatomical features, so it exists for the right and left sides. A posterior approach can be performed in half, straight or “S”-shaped line, it is dissected by planes, the olecranon posterior edge is located, the periosteum is incised, periosteal stripping is made and the Winkel plate is adapted, depending on the line location is the number of plate holes...
