The Arthrex Elbow Fracture Plating System provides a comprehensive portfolio of distal humerus and olecranon plates. Designed to treat all fractures, the set comes with KreuLock™ locking compression screws, allowing the surgeon to both reduce the plate to bone and compress across a fracture. The plating portfolio is perfectly complemented by Arthrex soft- tissue procedures and fracture reduction, including LUCL/MUCL InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation, FiberTape® cerclage, and the ElbowLOC® elbow positioner.
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

NanoScopic™ Release System for Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release

The NanoScope release system is packaged as a fully sterile kit that includes a nano needle, the Centerline device, and a single use dilator and synovial elevator instrument. Make a transverse incision in the proximal wrist crease between the FCU and the palmaris longus tendons. Dissect down through the antebrachial fascia to gain access to the carpal tunnel space, insert the dilator end of the double ended instrument. Advance the dilator hugging the hook of the hamate. Keep inserting until the far edge of the transverse carpal ligament. Remove the dilator and use the synovial scraper portion of the double ended instrument to clear the underside of the transverse carpal ligament. A washboard like effect should be felt as the instrument is moved back and forth. Assemble the NanoScopic release system by inserting the nano needle scope into the Centerline device. Once the nano needle is in contact with the Centerline device, turn the nano needle until it clicks in. This indicates that the scope is fully seated and at the appropriate level for visualization. Insert the NanoScopic release system into the carpal tunnel space. Visualize the transverse carpal ligament to ensure the device is in the correct plane. Advance the device to the end of the transverse carpal ligament. Once the end of the ligament is visualized and a clear path is established, deploy the blade and pull back to transect the ligament. Reinsert the device to confirm complete division of the transverse carpal ligament.

This animation demonstrates a carpometacarpal (CMC) suspensionplasty using the FiberLock™ suspension system. The FiberLock suspension system uses an all-suture FiberTak® anchor that is placed on the far cortex of the 2nd metacarpal using instrumentation developed specifically for this procedure. SutureTape from the FiberTak anchor is then brought underneath the thumb metacarpal and secured into the base of the 1st metacarpal with a 3.5 mm DX SwiveLock® suture anchor.

CMC Suspensionplasty Using the FiberLock™ Suspension System

The trapezium is removed. A mcglamry elevator can be used to facilitate removal. Place a guidewire from midline on the radial base of the second metacarpal through the far cortex, stopping just after the far cortex has been breached. Care is taken to place the guidewire in an oblique fashion, exiting distal to the second and third metacarpal interspace. This allows the FiberTak to deploy. Confirm placement of wire with fluoroscopic guidance. Once the guidewire breaches the far cortex. Place the drill guide over the guidewire and screw in the threads up to the laser line on the guide. The guide should be firmly in bone without any play. Note which laser line you measure to on the back end of the guide. This will correspond to the drill and the FiberTak inserter to ensure proper depth is reached. Remove the guide wire and drill with the fluted drill to the same laser mark as used with the preliminary guide wire. Care is taken to not disengage or move the guide. Remove the drill. Place the FiberTak anchor through the guide and advance through the far cortex. A slight tap with a mallet may be necessary to fully pass the inserter past the cortex and to the corresponding laser line. Placement should be confirmed both by the laser line on the inserter and by fluoroscopy. Set the FiberTak anchor by pulling back with slow, steady force on the sutures. The inserter is pulled straight out of the guide, and the guide is unscrewed from the second metacarpal. Using the guide wire for the SwiveLock anchor, insert the guide wire to the laser mark on the radial side of the first metacarpal base. Confirm with fluoroscopy. The blue drill guide and the appropriate drill are then used over the guide wire to prepare the hole for SwiveLock insertion, while capturing both strands of the SutureTape. Insert the 3.5 SwiveLock SL anchor into bone. Cut remaining sutures flush to create the knotless construct.

The Wrist Plating System provides a comprehensive solution for distal radius fracture management. A wide array of plates is available in narrow, standard, and wide, as well as in multiple shaft lengths. A variety of screw fixation options, aiming guides, and instrumentation allows for customization according to the surgeon’s needs and the complexity of the fracture.

Distal Radius Fracture Repair

The fracture, fragments of the distal radius are reduced and the volar distal radius plate is applied to the bone over the fracture site. The peak aiming guide is secured to the plate with the set screw. Next, the 3.5mm non-locking screw is placed into the slotted hole of the shaft for temporary fixation. K-wires holes in the distal aspect of the plate, except 1.35mm. K-wires, which can be used to assess distal proximal placement of the plate. If the K-wires are proximal to the joint surface, then all fixed angle screws will be proximal to the joint surface as well. Once plate placement is properly achieved and verified under fluoroscopy, the drop in drill guide is placed into the peak aiming guide, and the 1.7mm calibrated drill bit is drilled through the second cortex. The depth measurement can be read off the drill bit itself or the depth probe can be used. A 2.4mm locking non-locking or near cortex screw is inserted. These steps are repeated to fill the remaining head holes. The remaining 3.5mm locking screws are placed, and the final construct is evaluated under fluoroscopy for satisfactory reduction. Various aiming guide options are available in the set, including individual drill sleeves, threaded drill guides, and a variable angle drill guide, which can be used according to surgeon preference.

Foot and Ankle

The Mini Comprehensive Fixation System consists of 1.4 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, and 2.4 mm titanium, variable-angle locking, low-profile plates designed for osteotomies, fusions, and fractures of small bones. There are 56 plating options including straight, T, V, Y, bridge, cage, and triangular plates.

Thumb UCL Repair With InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation

Place a guidewire up to the laser line into the proximal phalanx. A second guidewire is placed just proximal to the origin of the UCL on the metacarpal ShaverDrill, both guidewires with a three millimeters cannulated drill bit and drill guide. A mini PushLock with accompanying 1.8mm drill can be used on the proximal phalanx to accommodate smaller anatomy when needed. Suturetape and 300 FiberWire suture are placed onto the forked eyelet of the SwiveLock. Insert the SwiveLock and sutures into the proximal phalanx. The 300 FiberWire is used to perform the primary repair of the ulnar collateral ligament down to bone. The SutureTape suture is brought over the ligament and the thumb is flexed 30 degrees. A second SwiveLock anchor captures the SutureTape and secures it in the metacarpal head, creating the internal brace. Augmentation. Any remaining suture is cut flush for an all knotless repair.

The all-dorsal scapholunate reconstruction with InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure allows for knotless, high-strength fixation of an extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) or palmaris longus graft combined with SutureTape. This reconstruction is meant for dorsal and dorsal/central reconstructions of the scapholunate ligament.
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

All-Dorsal Scapholunate Reconstruction With InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Repair

Expose the scapholunate joint with a standard dorsal approach. Harvest a two millimeter slip of the extensor carpi radialis brevis ecrb tendon at its insertion on the base of the third metacarpal. Whipstitch the end of the graft with A20 FiberLoop suture to aid in reducing the scapholunate joint. Place two guide wires to act as joysticks. Restore the joint to normal anatomic position. Place three guide wires, one centrally into the lunate, another into the proximal pole of the scaphoid, and a final guide wire into the distal pole of the scaphoid. Drill over all three guide wires using the cannulated drill bit and drill guide. Place the very end of the ecrb graft on the forked eyelet. A SutureTape suture is placed over the graft, and both the FiberLoop and SutureTape are secured into the notch on the SwiveLock tab. Insert the SwiveLock with the graft suture construct into the proximal pole of the scaphoid until the leading end of the anchor body is flush to the bone. Hold the tab steady while turning the knob clockwise until the anchor body is fully seated in bone. The second SwiveLock SL captures the graft and one limb of the SutureTape suture. The anchor and graft construct are inserted into the lunate. The graft and SutureTape are twisted together to facilitate insertion into the distal pole. The final SwiveLock is inserted into the distal pole of the scaphoid. The remaining graft and SutureTape are cut flush. An anti-rotation guidewire is placed from scaphoid to capitate and capped in for 6 to 8 weeks.
