The USF System Core Set can support all 2.7 mm / 3.5 mm non-locking, locking and variable angle locking plate technologies. This approach also helps to reduce the weight of the required sets to be transferred to the operating room. The modular concept of the USF System offers the flexibility to build different system configurations to meet the surgeon's needs. The VA LCP lower extremity trays are only provided in Stainless Steel. Realizing this burden on all involved stakeholders resulted in the clear need to provide a simplified solution for small bone procedures which improves ease of use as well as hospital efficiency.Įight streamlined anatomic implant trays (Elbow Implant Set, Shoulder / Clavicle Implant Set, VA LCP Proximal Tibia Implant Set, LCP Proximal Tibia Implant Set, VA LCP Distal Tibia Implant Set, LCP Distal Tibia Implant Set, VA LCP Distal Fibula Implant Set, LCP Distal Fibula Implant Set) which include the majority of implants (to cover about 80% of the procedures remaining implant portfolio is provided sterile packed), can be coupled with the core set to support specific small bone procedures (Fig 2).Īll upper extremity trays as well as the LCP lower extremity trays are available in Stainless Steel and Titanium options. In addition to this, the large number of parts in the sets entails an increased opportunity for missing and / or broken instruments. Training staff to use such a large portfolio of osteosynthesis material is also a considerable cost factor for the healthcare provider. It is also difficult for surgical teams to remain proficient in using so many different systems. The number of sets and the material volume for these frequently performed procedures place a significant burden on hospital resources in terms of reprocessing, storing and transporting the equipment. Surgical treatment of small bone trauma occurs worldwide about every 18 seconds and represents about 25% of all bone trauma cases. The sequential introduction of plating and screw technologies has led to a total number of more than 20 DePuy Synthes sets to support small fragment procedures involving shoulder, clavicle, elbow, tibia and fibula anatomies. Surgeons can choose from a large variety of standard and anatomically pre-contoured plates with instruments for application of conventional screws, locking screws and variable angle locking screws.
Over time, the collaboration of the AOTK System and DePuy Synthes has resulted in the development of numerous implants and instruments to address specific clinical problems.
