A universal T-handle chuck stabilizes the Less Invasive Stabilization System femur implant during surgery. This simple technique improves plate positioning, preventing complications during screw insertion and imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Instrumentation
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) is used for supracondylar femur fractures.
  • Accurate plate positioning is critical for successful LISS fixation.
  • Intraoperative plate migration can lead to fixation complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a technique for preliminary stabilization of the LISS supracondylar femur implant.
  • To evaluate the utility of a universal T-handle chuck in this application.
  • To mitigate issues related to plate displacement during surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a universal T-handle chuck for intraoperative implant stabilization.
  • Applied the technique during the preliminary stages of LISS plate fixation.

  • Focused on maintaining plate contact with the lateral femoral cortex.

    • Main Results:

    • The T-handle chuck provided effective preliminary stabilization of the LISS implant and aiming device.
    • This stabilization facilitated accurate plate positioning against the bone.
    • The technique aided in maintaining plate position during intraoperative radiographs and initial screw insertion.

    Conclusions:

    • A universal T-handle chuck offers a simple and effective method for stabilizing the LISS femur implant.
    • This technique helps prevent plate malpositioning, particularly avoiding excessive distance from the lateral femoral cortex.
    • Adoption of this method can improve surgical outcomes in LISS procedures.
