4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plates
2 Synthes 4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plates Technique Guide
The Synthes 4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plate is part of theLCP Periarticular Plating System, which merges locking screwtechnology with conventional plating techniques. The LCPPeriarticular Plating System is capable of addressing complexfractures of the distal femur with the 4.5 mm LCP CondylarPlates, complex fractures of the proximal femur with the4.5 mm LCP Proximal Femur Plates and 4.5 mm LCP ProximalFemur Hook Plates, and complex fractures of the proximaltibia when using the 4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plates and4.5 mm LCP Medial Proximal Tibia Plates.
The locking compression plate (LCP) has Combi holes in theplate shaft that combine a dynamic compression unit (DCU)hole with a locking screw hole. The Combi hole providesthe flexibility of axial compression and locking capabilitythroughout the length of the plate shaft.
Note: For information on fixation principles using conven-tional and locked plating techniques, please refer to theSynthes Large Fragment Locking Compression Plate (LCP)Technique Guide.
The 4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plate has many similaritiesto traditional plate fixation methods, with a few importantimprovements. The technical innovation of locking screwsprovides the ability to create a fixed-angle construct whileusing familiar AO plating techniques. Locking capability isimportant for a fixed-angle construct in osteopenic bone ormultifragment fractures where screw purchase is compromised.These screws do not rely on plate-to-bone compression toresist patient load, but function similarly to multiple,small angled blade plates.

AO Principles
In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles which havebecome the guidelines for internal fixation.1 Those principles,as applied to the 4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plates, are:
Anatomic reductionFacilitates restoration of the articular surface using guidewires for reduction and insertion of cannulated screws.Precontoured plate assists reduction of metaphysis todiaphysis.
Stable fixationLocking screws create a fixed-angle construct, providingangular stability.
Preservation of blood supplyTapered end simplifies submuscular plate insertion,improving tissue viability. Limited-contact design reducesplate-to-bone contact and vascular trauma.
Early, active mobilizationPlate features combined with AO technique create anenvironment for bone healing, expediting a return tooptimal function.

Make Incision and Reduce Articular Surface
2Make incision
Lateral incisionA lateral “S” incision is recommended when a simplearticular fracture (AO classification 41-C1) or extra-articularfracture (AO classification 42 or 41A) is present.
Anterolateral incisionIn the presence of a complex intra-articular fracture(AO classification 41-C2 or C3), perform an anterolateralapproach. Perform arthrotomy to expose the joint forreduction. Extend the incision for adequate exposureof the joint for reduction and anatomic fixation.
3Reduce articular surface
Instrument
394.35 Large Distractor
Kirschner Wires
Technique tip: Prior to reduction, application of an externalfixator or large distractor may facilitate reduction of the joint.
Reduce the fracture fragments and confirm reduction usingimage intensification. Fragments may be reduced usingindependent Kirschner wires; however, K-wire holes are alsoprovided on the plate to help achieve provisional reduction,plate position, or fixation.

Attach Wire Guides
3Reduce articular surface continued
The locking screws do not provide interfragment or plate-to-bone compression; therefore, any desired compression mustbe achieved with traditional lag screws. The angular fragmentsmust be reduced and compression must be obtained priorto applying the 4.5 mm LCP proximal tibia plate with lockingscrews. However, 5.0 mm cannulated conical screws can beused through the head of the plate to compress the plateto the bone.
Technique tip: To verify that lag screws will not interferewith plate placement, hold the plate laterally to the bone.
4Attach wire guides
Instruments
310.243 2.5 mm Drill Tip Guide Wire, 200 mm
324.174 2.5 mm Wire Guide, for 5.0 mm screws
Before placing the plate against the bone, thread 2.5 mmwire guides into the three (3) proximal holes. If desired,thread a wire guide into the angled hole of the shaft.
Note: It is easier to thread these wire guides when the plateis off the bone, and the wire guides can be used as handlesto facilitate positioning of the plate on the bone.
Insert 2.5 mm drill tip guide wires into each of the wireguides to verify that the wire guides are properly threadedinto the plate. The wires in the plate head should be parallelto each other in the transverse plane. The oblique or kick-stand wire should buttress the central wire in the plate head.

Determine Plate Position
5Determine plate position
Instruments
292.652 2.0 mm Non-Colored Threaded Guide Wire
310.243 2.5 mm Drill Tip Guide Wire
Using anatomic landmarks and fluoroscopy, mount the plateon the intact or reconstructed plateau without attempting toreduce the distal portion of the fracture. Use the wire guidesto help position the plate on the bone.
Insert a 2.5 mm guide wire through the 2.5 mm wire guide.Readjust plate position, if necessary. Place a second guidewire to prevent rotation of the plate, and to secure provisionalfixation of the plate to the tibial plateau. All three guidewires must be inserted through the 2.5 mm wire guides.
Note: Additional 2.0 mm K-wires may be placed in theproximal K-wire holes to hold the plate in position.
Confirm plate head placement. Use clinical examinationand fluoroscopy to confirm that:
– Screw trajectories in the proximal locking holes are parallelto the joint in the transverse plane, and the plate is orientedproperly on the plateau;
– Screw and plate placement are consistent with thepreoperative plan; and
– Alignment of the plate to the shaft of the tibia is correctin both the AP and lateral views. Placement of the plate atthis point will determine final flexion/extension reduction.

Instruments
310.634 4.3 mm Cannulated Drill Bit
314.05 Cannulated Hexagonal Screwdriver
319.701 Cannulated Screw Measuring Device
Note: If required, lag screw reduction of a fragment must beaccomplished before inserting locking screws into the fragment.
Before inserting the first screw, advance each guide wire untilit reaches either the medial cortex or the desired screw tiplocation when placing convergent screws.
If the plate shifts during screw insertion, the guide wiresmust be removed and reinserted using the wire guides forthe screws to lock to the plate properly.
Screw length considerationsCentral locking hole: The locking screw holes in the proximalportion of the plate create a converging screw pattern forimproved pullout strength. When using locking screws longerthan 60 mm in the anterior and posterior of the three headholes, a central locking screw greater than 70 mm in lengthmay meet with these screws.
Measure for screw length using the cannulated screwmeasuring device. The correct length measurement willplace the screw at the tip of the guide wire.
Note: The measuring device must contact the end of thewire guide for an accurate measurement.
Technique tip: The self-drilling, self-tapping flutes of the5.0 mm screws make predrilling and pretapping unnecessaryin most cases. If necessary in dense bone, the lateral cortexcan be predrilled with the 4.3 mm cannulated drill bit, for5.0 mm screws.
Synthes 11
Remove the wire guide and insert the appropriate lengthscrew over the 2.5 mm guide wire and into the bone, usingthe cannulated hexagonal screwdriver. Locking screws maybe inserted using power equipment. However, DO NOT usepower to seat these screws since this may cause screws tocross-thread in the plate holes.
Important: Securely tighten all locking screws to lock themto the plate.
Note: To compress the plate to the lateral tibial plateau, it isnecessary to use a conical screw prior to any locking screws.Conical screws may be replaced with locking screws afterreduction is complete.
Reduce Shaft to Tibial Plateau
12 Synthes 4.5 mm LCP Proximal Tibia Plates Technique Guide
7Reduce shaft to tibial plateau
Instrument
321.12 Articulated Tension Device
Reduce the tibial plateau to the shaft of the tibia using indirectreduction techniques whenever possible. Using atraumatictechnique, temporarily secure the plate shaft to the bonewith plate holding forceps.
Confirm rotation of the extremity by clinical examination.
Once reduction is satisfactory, and if it is appropriate basedon the fracture morphology, the plate should be loaded intension using the articulated tension device.
Note: With multifragment fractures, it may not always bepossible or desirable to achieve anatomic reduction of thefracture. However, in simple fracture patterns, the articulatedtension device may facilitate anatomic reduction. This devicemay be used to generate either compression or distraction.
In addition to having threaded locking holes, the plate functionssimilarly to DCP plates which offer the ability to self-compressfracture fragments. Therefore, a combination of lag screwsand locking screws may be used.

Note: The measuring device must contact the end of thewire guide for an accurate measurement.
Insert Locking Screw into Angled Plate Hole
Screw length considerationsAngled locking hole: The oblique locking screw in the plateshaft converges with the central locking screw in the platehead for improved pullout strength and fixation. If theoblique locking screw exceeds 65 mm in length, it shouldcontact the proximal locking screw.
Technique tip: The self-drilling, self-tapping flutes of the5.0 mm screws make predrilling and pretapping unnecessaryin most cases. If necessary, in dense bone, the lateral cortexcan be predrilled with the 4.3 mm cannulated drill bit.
Insert the appropriate length cannulated locking screwover the 2.5 mm guide wire and into the bone using thecannulated hexagonal screwdriver. Locking screws may beinserted using power equipment. However, DO NOT usepower to seat these screws since this may cause screws tocross-thread in the plate holes.
Important:Securely tighten all locking screws to ensure they are lockedto the plate.
Always use the torque limiting attachment when using powerto insert locking screws.

5.0 mm Cannulated Locking and Cannulated Conical Screws
The screw design enhances fixationand facilitates the surgical procedure.
Conical screwheadThe conical head simplifies alignmentin the plate hole. This is of particularimportance when using locking screws.The threaded screwhead must alignwith the plate hole threads to providea secure screw/plate construct. Toensure proper alignment and preventcross-threading, the appropriatethreaded wire guide or drill guide mustalways be used.
Large diameter screw coreThe large diameter screw core improvesbending and shear strength, anddistributes the load over a larger areain the bone.
Thread profileThe shallow thread profile of thelocking screws is necessary to providea larger core. This is appropriate sincelocking screws do not rely on compres-sion between the plate and the boneto maintain stability. When required,interfragmentary compression can beachieved with the partially threadedcannulated conical screws, especiallywhen near the articular surface.
Screw selection and configurationfor the plate headThe 5.0 mm cannulated locking screwsprovide a fixed-angle construct inthe metaphysis, while the 5.0 mmcannulated conical screws can be usedto gain interfragmentary compressionthrough the plate.
This plate can serve as a buttress for amedial wedge. This is accomplished bythe convergence of the locking screwsin the metaphyseal region and theoblique screw from below.
