ARZZT Techniques HALSES PLATE

ARZZT Techniques Halses Plate Introduction The significant increase in cervical spine surgery along with the increased use of internal fixation systems via anterior, requires the development of new devices having as a main objective to provide surgeon with a bigger versatility and safety, as well as a decreased surgical time. For this reason we have been developed the CERVICAL DOHLER SYSTEM conjugating the device technical complexity and surgical technique simplification.

ARZZT Techniques Halses Plate Implant design Halses Cervical Anterior plate and Arzzt screws are available for the following holes with TITANIUM 6AI4V, 2.0mm profile, and its screws with a diameter of 4.0mm and 4.35mm and length from 10mm to 20mm having a 2mm difference between each measure.

ARZZT Techniques Halses Plate Pre-operative planning Patient should be aware of the surgery potential risks including persistent pain, infection, neurologic injury, vascular or visceral injury, or failure of fusion resulting from implant release or fracture, making that another surgery should be necessary, before deciding to perform that surgery. The surgeon may consider conducting a blood self-transfusion for multilevel surgeries or for those which are prolonged. The surgeon must determine the levels to be played and its approach. The administration of first-generation antibiotics is recommended...

ARZZT Techniques Halses Plate Patient position Surgical approach A cutaneous transversal incision is performed. Then, the atraumatic and avascular dissection are medially performed in frames between trachea and esophagus, and laterally in the sternocleidomastoid and carotid. To make the primary contraction of the neck muscles, a soft tissue Distractor can be used which gives the surgeon easy access and more exhaustive understanding of the surgical field.

ARZZT Techniques Halses Plate Surgical approach Handling of interchangeable valves with hand-operated Distractors is very useful along with the aforementioned instruments. Removal of intervertebral disc is conducted. After carrying out the required maneuvers according to pathology, as corpectomy, discectomy or fracture reduction and graft placement in the intervertebral spaces, the plate positioning is the step to be followed.

The plate-holder clamp is used for this step. The suitable length plate is selected and the required molding level is verified. The plate is molded by folding-plate clamp on the area located between blocking devices to obtain an anatomical profile. To make the initial hole, the punch is used and placing the end in the plate hole, giving the desired angular target and then, a gentle strength is applied to enter the lip around 10mm into the thickness of the vertebral body. Using the hole made by the punch, the wick is manually turning inserted, when the desired length has previously been selected....

The desired length screw is selected, which has a fixed or variable angle. Take the screw with a screwdriver and then insert it into the hole. Once all the screws were placed in the plate according to the abovementioned technique, the blocking system should be set in motion. To do this, it is only need to turn the blocking latch 45° to the right with the blocking device. Halses Arzzt plate allows fixing the screws on convergent, divergent or fixed positions, both in longitudinal and sagittal plane. Back to Content
