AO Principles

1 ME Müller, M Allgöwer, R Schneider, H Willenegger. Manual of Internal Fixation.3rd, expanded and completely revised ed. 1991. Berlin, Heidelberg, New York:Springer. 1995.

2 Ibd.3 M Aebi, V Arlet, JK Webb (2007). AOSPINE Manual (2 vols.), Stuttgart, New York:Thieme

In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which havebecome the guidelines for internal fixation.1 They are:– Anatomic reduction– Stable internal fixation– Preservation of blood supply– Early, active mobilization

The fundamental aims of fracture treatment in the limbs andfusion of the spine are the same. A specific goal in thespine is returning as much function as possible to the injuredneural elements.2

AO Principles as Applied to the Spine3

Anatomic alignmentRestoration of normal spinal alignment to improve the biomechanics of the spine.

Stable internal fixationStabilization of the spinal segment to promote bony fusion.

Preservation of blood supplyCreation of an optimal environment for fusion.

Early, active mobilizationMinimization of damage to the spinal vasculature, dura, andneural elements, which may contribute to pain reduction andimproved function for the patient.

1Patient positioning

Position the patient on a radiolucent OR table in the proneposition. To obtain optimal visualization of the spine, the ORtable should have enough clearance available for a fluoro-scopic C-arm to rotate freely for AP, oblique and lateral views.Accurate visualization of the anatomic landmarks and fluoro-scopic visualization of the pedicles are imperative for usingthe MATRIX MIS System. In the following sections, the use ofAP and lateral fluoroscopy will be described.

2Approach

Option A: Percutaneous approach

Instrument

03.616.046 Dissector, blunt

The percutaneous approach facilitates atraumatic blunt dissection of the muscles through small individual incisions,through which single implants are placed.

Using fluoroscopy, locate and mark the lateral borders ofeach pedicle to receive a screw. These marks indicate wherethe individual incisions will be made. Each incision shouldhave a sagittal orientation and should be approximately15 mm in length, depending on patient anatomy and fluoro-scopic location of the pedicles.

After determining the appropriate locations, make each inci-sion in the skin and the fascia where appropriate. The bluntdissector can be used to facilitate dissection of the tissueprior to subsequent insertion of pedicle preparation instru-ments.

Option B: Mini-open or Wiltse method

Instrument

03.616.046 Dissector, blunt

The mini-open approach advocates atraumatic blunt dissec-tion of the muscles so that all instruments and implants areintroduced through a common incision. A Wiltse or modifiedWiltse approach is suggested.4

Using fluoroscopy, locate and mark the lateral borders of thepedicles. This will indicate where the fascial incisions shouldbe made. As a general guide, the incisions should be made2 cm–4 cm lateral to the midline. This depends on patientanatomy and actual fluoroscopic location of the pedicles.

Lateral or bilateral skin and fascial incisionsAfter determining the surgical trajectory, make an incision inthe skin and the fascia of the appropriate size (approximately30 mm for single-level procedures). Following incision of thefascia, locate the cleavage plane between the multifidus andlongissimus muscle groups. Using a Wiltse approach, bluntlydissect between the multifidus and longissimus muscleplanes down to the bony anatomy. Careful separation of themuscle planes can yield an avascular dissection. Ensure thatadequate dissection is performed to accommodate furtherinstrument and implant placement. The blunt dissector canbe used to facilitate dissection of the tissue planes.

Midline skin incisionAlternatively, a midline skin incision with lateral or bilateralfascial incisions can be applied.

1Perforate cortex of pedicle with Jamshidi needle

Working through the incision, locate the pedicles as described in AO ASIF Principles in Spine Surgery.5

Place the tip of the Jamshidi needle at the entry point of thepedicle and align the Jamshidi needle with the pedicle trajec-tory. If necessary, reinsert and realign the needle. Advancethe Jamshidi needle into the pedicle by tapping lightly with amallet. Twist the handle one-quarter turn to detach the tro-car from the Jamshidi needle while ensuring the Jamshidineedle remains in place.

Note: Use fluoroscopy to monitor position of the Jamshidineedle during insertion.

03.616.070 Handle for Kirschner Wire � 1.6 mm

Match the screw axis to the Kirschner wire axis by passingthe retaining sleeve assembly over the Kirschner wire untilthe tip of the screw reaches the pedicle entry point. Prior to advancing the screw, fluoroscopy should be used to ensureproper placement.

Warning: Do not advance the screw into the pedicle untilthe screw axis is aligned with the Kirschner wire to preventkinking or unintended advancement. Monitor the tip of theKirschner wire under fluoroscopy to ensure it does not pene-trate the anterior wall of the vertebral body.

Advance the screw into the pedicle by turning the ratchethandle clockwise (1).

The black part of the retaining sleeve and the retractionblade below the green knob can be held during insertion toguide trajectory.

Note: Do not grasp the green knob during insertion as it willcause the retaining sleeve to disengage from the screw.

Control the Kirschner wire exiting the proximal end of theratchet handle.

Remove the Kirschner wire once the tip of the screw entersthe vertebral body. The handle for Kirschner wire can beused (2).

If a locking cap needs to be loosened after tightened to10 Nm, use a countertorque with detachable handle,MATRIX screwdriver shaft, and a 10 Nm torque limitinghandle to loosen the locking cap.

Note: Locking caps are designed to lock the construct andresist postoperative loosening and rod push through. There-fore, in certain cases, the loosening torque may be higherthan 10 Nm. In such cases, apply the following technique toloosen a locking cap.

Place the torque handle in the neutral position and begin tosequentially tighten and then immediately loosen the lockingcap. Turn until tactile or audible feedback from the implantsis experienced. It is important to approach the torque limitof the handle, but not exceed through the limit. Repeat thetightening / loosening steps until the locking cap is loose.To ensure the screwdriver shaft is protected from damage, always use the 10 Nm torque limiting handle.

Warning: Never use a fixed or ratcheting T-handle screw- driver for this technique. If the torque limiting attachment isnot used, breakage of the driver may occur and could poten-tially harm the patient.
