MatrixRIB. Stable fixation of normal and osteoporotic ribs.
The Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System consists of precon-toured locking plates, locking screws, and intramedullarysplints for the fixation and stabilization of ribs.Although some rib fractures are treated with pain manage-ment and bracing, as well as endotracheal intubation andmechanical ventilation if necessary, some patients could benefit from surgical stabilization (osteosynthesis).
Locking screws– Screws work with self-retaining
screwdriver blades to reduce cam-out
– Locking design for stable construct– One screw diameter for use with all
plates and splints
* Ti-6Al-7Nb1 Ahmed Z, Mohyuddin Z, 1995, 1676–802 Engel C, et al., 2005, 181–63 Lardinois D, et al., 2001, 496–5014 Tanaka H, et al., 2002, 727–32
There are several potential benefits of surgical stabilization ofrib fractures. These include reduced mortality and increasedcost effectiveness due to a reduced duration of mechanicalventilation support, shortened ICU stays, and less complica-tions. Patients could also benefit from preserved pulmonaryfunction, improved pain control, better clearance of secre-tions through efficient cough, minimized chest wall deformi-ties resulting from trauma and shorter back to work time.1,2,3,4

Locking plates– Plates are precontoured to fit an average rib shape,
which minimizes intraoperative bending5
– Locking plate construct provides stable fixation– Low-profile 1.5 mm thick plates– Plates are color-coded to distinguish left and right designs– Plates are etched on medial end to indicate the correspon-
ding rib– A universal plate with 8 holes is available
Intramedullary splints– Intramedullary splints allow less invasive procedures– Three widths available (3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm)– Only one screw needed to secure splint

AO Principles
In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which havebecome the guidelines for internal fixation.6 These principles,as applied to the MatrixRIB Fixation system, are:
Anatomic reductionFracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical rela-tionships. A comprehensive implant and instrument selectionaddresses most simple and complex fixation needs.
Stable fixationStability by rigid fixation or splintage, as the personality ofthe fracture and the injury requires. The MatrixRIB plate andscrew locking technology are optimized to achieve stablebone fixation.
Preservation of blood supplyPreservation of the blood supply to soft tissue and bone by careful handling and gentle reduction techniques. Instrumentation, with rounded plate profiles and edges, preserve vascular blood flow for bone healing.
Early, active mobilizationEarly and safe mobilization of the body part and patient. The MatrixRIB implants, combined with AO technique, providestable fixation to allow functional aftercare.
6 Müller ME, Allgöwer M, Schneider R, Willenegger H, 1995
Indications
The Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System is indicated for the fixation and stabilization of rib fractures, fusions and osteotomies of normal and osteoporotic bone.
Position the patient to optimize access to the rib to be repaired.
For pure lateral chest injuries, a lateral thoracotomy may beused with the patient in a lateral decubitus position, and the arms abducted 90° on padded arm rests.
Anterolateral chest injuries may be approached with an anterolateral thoracotomy with the patient in a supine position, with both arms abducted 90°.

1Expose fractured rib
Make an incision over the fracture area.
Expose the rib to allow a minimum of three screws on eachside of the fracture.
Remove any nonviable bone.
Caution: Avoid significant muscle division to preserve asmuch respiratory function as possible. The serratus anteriormuscle insertions on the chest wall are generally the onlymuscle fibers that are divided for anterolateral injuries.
Notes– For lateral chest wall injuries, the anterior aspect of the
latissimus dorsi can be dissected to gain access to the fracture.
– Removal of the periosteum is not required.

2Determine rib thickness
Instrument
03.501.065 Calliper
Optional instrument
03.501.074 Universal Calliper
Make a small incision in the intercostal space at the superiorborder of the rib to allow insertion of the calliper tip.
Insert the calliper tip through the incision and determine the rib thickness.
Note: If an existing access into the intercostal space is avail-able for determining the rib thickness, it is recommended toinsert the calliper tip using the existing access.
To select the appropriate drill bit with stop and the appropri-ate screw length, add 2 mm to allow for the plate thickness.
Caution: Take care to avoid damaging the nerve and vesselbundle at the inferior border of the rib.

Select the proper length screw.
Caution: The screw should be no longer than necessary toengage the posterior cortex, to avoid deeper injury. The tipof the screw should not extend more than 1 mm beyond theposterior cortex. The screw length indicator on the modulecan be used to select the appropriate screws.
Insert the locking screw through the plate and tighten until secure.
Optionally, a 6 mm nonlocking screw is available to ensurethe plate sits flush with the bone. This nonlocking screw is atemporary fixation and will need to be replaced with a lock-ing screw before closure.
10Drill and place remaining screws
Verify proper reduction of the fracture.
Insert a second screw on the opposite side of the fracturefollowing steps 8 and 9. Insert remaining screws in the same manner.

Intramedullary splints improve the ability to fix posterior ribfractures.
The intramedullary splints have a rectangular profile for rotational stability within the canal, and a locking feature toprevent migration and rotation of the implant.
Intramedullary splints– Intramedullary splints allow less invasive procedures– Three widths available (3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm)– Only one screw needed to secure splint

Notes– It is recommended to minimize the dissection of the soft
tissue on the lateral side of the fracture.– Removal of the periosteum is not recommended.
Caution: Avoid significant muscle division to preserve asmuch respiratory function as possible.

Notes– It is recommended to insert the hook near the superior
edge of the rib, and to drill an entry hole in the upper 2⁄3of the rib.
– The small plate holding forceps can be used to clampdown the 5.5 splint drill guide during drilling.
Caution: If the drill guide without handle is used, ensure thetapered end, labeled “Fracture”, is aligned with the fractureto ensure the hole is approximately 30 mm from the fractureline.
Note: The splint driver may be threaded into the drill guideto act as handle, as needed.
Ensure the medial end of the drill guide contacts the bone.
Using the � 5.5 mm drill bit with stop, drill monocortically.

Remove the splint template.
Fully insert the template into the canal of the lateral fracture segment.
Remove the splint template.
Notes– If the small template fits snugly, use the 3 mm wide splint.– If the medium template fits snugly, use the 4 mm wide
splint.– If the medium template fits loosely, use the 5 mm wide
splint.– The mallet can be used to assist insertion of the splint
template, if needed.
Use bone reduction forceps to hold the rib segment duringsplint template insertion.
