AO Principles

In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation.1 They are:

– Anatomic reduction

– Stable fixation

– Preservation of blood supply

– Early, active mobilization

The fundamental aims of fracture treatment in the limbs and fusion of the spine are the same. A specific goal in the spine is returning as much function as possible to the injured neural elements.2

AO Principles as Applied to the Spine3

Anatomic alignmentIn the spine, this means reestablishing and maintaining thenatural curvature and protective function of the spine. By re-gaining this natural anatomy, the biomechanics of the spinecan be improved, and a reduction of pain can be experienced.

Stable internal fixationIn the spine, the goal of internal fixation is to maintain notonly the integrity of a mobile segment, but also maintain thebalance and the physiologic three-dimensional form of thespine.3 A stable spinal segment allows bony fusion at the junction of the lamina and pedicle.

Preservation of blood supplyThe proper atraumatic technique enables minimal retractionor disturbance of the nerve roots and dura, and maintains thestability of the facet joints. The ideal surgical technique andimplant design minimize damage to anatomical structures, i.e.facet capsules and soft tissue attachments remain intact, andcreate a physiological environment that facilitates healing.

Early, active mobilizationThe ability to restore normal spinal anatomy may permit theimmediate reduction of pain, resulting in a more active, func-tional patient. The reduction in pain and improved functioncan result when a stable spine is achieved.

Indications

The Vectra and Vectra-T Systems are intended for anteriorplate and screw fixation of the cervical spine (C2–C7) for thefollowing indications:

– Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain ofdiscogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmedby history and radiographic studies)

– Spondylolisthesis

– Spinal stenosis

– Tumors (primary and metastatic)

– Failed previous fusions

– Pseudarthrosis

– Deformity (i.e., kyphosis, lordosis and/or scoliosis)

The Vectra-One system is intended for anterior plate andscrew fixation of the cervical spine (C2–C7) for the followingindications:

– Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain ofdiscogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmedby history and radiographic studies)

Synthes Spine 7

ContraindicationsCertain degenerative diseases or underlying physiological con-ditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis may alter thehealing process, thereby increasing the risk of implant breakage.

Mental or physical impairment, which compromises or preventsthe patient’s ability to comply with necessary limitations or pre-cautions, may place that patient at a particular risk during post-operative rehabilitation.

Factors such as the patient’s weight, activity level, and adher-ence to weight-bearing or load-bearing instructions have aneffect on the stresses to which the implant is subjected.

Contraindications for the use of Synthes Vectra Systems in-clude active systemic infection or infection localized to thesite of the proposed implantation. Any entity or conditionthat totally precludes the possibility of fusion, i.e., cancer,kidney dialysis, or osteopenia are relative contraindications.Other relative contraindications include obesity and foreignbody sensitivity. In addition, the patient’s activity level ormental capacity may be relative contraindications to this surgery.

Warnings/precautionsThese devices are not approved for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical,thoracic, or lumbar spine.

4Approach

Make a standard approach, to appropriately expose the cervical levels to be surgically treated.

3Position patient

Patient positioning is critical for cervical fusion procedures.The patient should be placed on the operating table in asupine position with the patient’s head securely immobilized.Confirm proper patient position by direct visualization beforedraping, and by radiograph. Always use caution when positioning the patient, as physiological alignment may not be attainable.

5Select and insert graft

Instrument

Following the approach and decompression, insert the appropriately sized graft.

Note: For recommended grafting technique, refer to the Synthes ACF Spacer Technique Guide.

Instrument

03.600.004 Cervical Plate Bender

Select a plate with appropriate hole spacing.

After plate length has been determined, ensure that theprelordosed plate fits the anatomy. The plate contour can beadjusted using the cervical plate bender at the bend groovesof the plate.

Caution:Repeated bending may weaken the plate.

Do not bend the plate at the holes.

Vectra-T: Bending the shortest 1- and 2-level Vectra-Tplates (450.551, 450.552, 450.561, 450.562 and 450.563)may impede the trans lational mechanism and is not recom-mended. These plates are made with additional lordosis.

Vectra-One: Bending the shortest Vectra-One plates(04.613.150 and 04.613.152) is not recommended.

2Secure with temporary fixation pins

Instruments

324.101 Temporary Fixation Pin

324.105 Insertion Screwdriver, self-retaining

352.312* Holding Sleeve, for Temporary Fixation Pin

When the plate is positioned appropriately, secure it with atemporary fixation pin, using the insertion screwdriver and, if needed, the additionally available holding sleeve.

All 3- and 4-level Vectra-T plates are designed with a recom-mended cranial end–the end with the elongated holes.

With the Vectra-T System, a stable discectomy-corpectomycombination can be achieved by allowing a corpectomy tobe done on the cranial end and the discectomy to be doneat the caudal end.

Note: If the discectomy is done above the corpectomy, turnthe plate around for optimal fixation.

Alternative techniques

3Break cortex

Instrument

324.111 Awl, for self-retaining screws

Insert the awl into the screw hole at the desired screw angle.Push down and twist awl handle. Remove the awl by pullingstraight up. Do not angle or lever the awl to either side.

4Insert variable-angle screw

Instrument

324.105 Insertion Screwdriver, self-retaining

Load the appropriate length variable-angle self-drilling screwonto the insertion screwdriver. Advance the screw until thehead of the screw is fully seated in the plate and the plate islagged to the bone.

Notes: Vectra-T: Only variable-angle screws are recommended inthe elongated holes of 3- and 4-level plates. The screwheadgeometry of fixed-angle screws may impede translation.

Any screw may be placed in the round screw holes .

The total amount of translation can be customized (e.g., fora corpectomy) by removing carriage spacers and moving thecarriages within the allowable range before screw placement.

The carriage on the cranial end (for 3- and 4- level platesonly) can translate 3 mm while all other carriages can trans-late 2 mm.

Intermediate elongated holes allow screws to translate up to 2 mm.

Vectra-One: Ensure that the pyramidal teeth are fully seatedwithin the bone.

1Screwhead cleaning

Instrument

324.071 Screw Head Cleaning Tool

If access to the screwhead is blocked by tissue, use thescrewhead cleaning tool to clean out material. Insert the tool into the screwhead and twist the handle back and forth until material is removed.

2Screw removal

Instrument

352.311 Extraction Screwdriver

To remove the screw, the extraction screwdriver must beused. Insert the driver shaft into the screwhead recess.Thread the inner shaft into the mating thread of the screwby turning the inner shaft knob clockwise until fully tight-ened.

Caution: If the inner shaft knob is not fully tightened to thehandle, breakage of the driver may occur and could poten-tially harm the patient.

Advance the sleeve downward to contact the upper surfaceof the plate by turning the sleeve clockwise. While holdingthe sleeve, turn the handle counterclockwise to extract thescrew.

Note: After two screw removals from one hole of the plate,the plate must be replaced.

Caution: The extraction screw driver should only be used forscrew removal; use of the extraction screwdriver for screw insertion may lead to driver and/or implant breakage.
