Therapeutic Indications
Fixin Straight Support 3 3 Holes 139 mm is mainly used for the treatment and stabilization of bone fractures, pseudarthrosis, osteotomies and reconstructions of bone segments both in the field of veterinary orthopedics and, where appropriate, in the human one. The straight geometry and the presence of three holes allow to obtain a linear and stable fixation, particularly effective for long bones that require consolidation without loss of alignment. It is suitable for both simple and more complex fractures, including situations where multi-piece reconstruction is necessary.
This support is widely used in internal osteosynthesis procedures, thanks to the possibility of combining different types of screws to ensure optimal customization of the intervention. It is often indicated in the stabilization of diaphyseal fractures, in corrective osteotomies where it is desired to maintain a compact profile of the plate and in arthrodeses which require a prolonged immobilization time. In cases of degenerative osteoarticular pathologies, it can be used as a temporary support until the completion of regenerative processes or bone grafts.
Thanks to the structural versatility and resistance of the materials used, the Fixin Supporto Retto 3 3 Holes 139 mm can be used both as a single device and in combination with other synthetic elements (L-shaped plates, angular plates, intramedullary nails) to create complex and multifunctional fixing systems. It is particularly recommended in situations where you want to minimize complications related to instability, failure or breakage of the support structures. Correct use of the device helps to improve healing times and increase the chances of optimal functional recovery of the involved limb.
Composition
Materials: The Fixin 3 3 Hole 139 mm Straight Support is generally made of high-strength biocompatible metal alloys, such as surgical stainless steel or titanium, depending on the specific clinical needs and preferences of the surgeon. These materials are selected for their high mechanical tolerance, corrosion resistance and ability to withstand static and dynamic loads without deforming or fracturing.
High-precision manufacturing methods are adopted in the production process, such as numerical control cutting and polished surface finishing, to ensure constant quality on each piece. The holes are aligned with millimeter precision to guarantee a uniform distribution of the tightening forces and facilitate the insertion of the screws in different operating situations.
In addition to the main metal alloy, the device can feature specific surface coatings based on ceramic oxides or passivation treatments, designed to increase biocompatibility, reduce the risk of infection and promote integration with the surrounding bone tissue. Every aspect of the composition is designed to meet the most stringent safety and reliability regulations required for implantable medical devices.
Contraindications
The Fixin Straight Support 3 3 Holes 139 mm must not be used in patients who show proven hypersensitivity or allergy to the materials used, such as stainless steel, titanium or any additives and surface coatings. The use of the device is also contraindicated in patients where local or systemic infection can compromise the stability of the implant and in fracture sites severely compromised by bone necrosis or the presence of active tumors in the area to be treated.
It should not be applied in situations where the bone is of such poor quality that adequate screw anchoring is not possible, such as in patients with severe osteoporosis or metabolic bone disease. The support is not indicated as a definitive solution in cases where high torsional loads are expected unless it is reinforced with additional synthesis devices. Furthermore, its use should be avoided in all situations in which correct sterility of the implant cannot be guaranteed before insertion, to avoid the risk of post-operative infections.
In the event of accidental breakage or deformation of the support during preparation or handling, it is recommended not to proceed with the implant and to use only perfectly intact devices for maximum patient safety.
Device safety for the species
The Fixin 3 3 Hole Straight Support 139 mm has been designed to offer maximum safety in terms of biocompatibility and long-term mechanical stability. The choice of materials and geometric conformation have been optimized to minimize the risks of adverse reactions in the surrounding tissues, such as inflammation or rejections. However, as with any implantable medical device, a correct pre-operative evaluation of the patient is essential to avoid complications due to pre-existing conditions or particular anatomical characteristics.
The device complies with rigorous quality and biocompatibility controls, and is supplied sterile and ready for use to ensure optimal conditions at the time of implantation. The risk of micromovements, anomalous stress on the bone margins or microfractures is minimized thanks to the correct positioning of the support and the use of adequate screws during the surgical procedure. It is important to scrupulously respect the indications relating to post-operative loading to avoid premature failure of the implant, especially in active subjects or with particularly delicate bone conformations.
If the device is removed after bone healing is complete, it is possible to intervene without difficulty, further reducing the risk of residual damage to the surrounding soft or bone tissues.
Precautions
The use of Fixin Supporto Retto 3 3 Holes 139 mm requires scrupulous pre-operative planning by the surgeon, who must carefully evaluate the type of lesion, the quality of the bone and the suitability of the device with respect to the anatomical morphology of the patient. It is recommended to use the support exclusively in association with compatible screws specifically designed for this type of implants, in order to guarantee the maximum level of fixation and long-term stability.
Before implantation, it is essential to check the structural integrity of the support and ensure that it has been adequately sterilized according to hospital protocols. During the operation, avoid subjecting the device to excessive tension or bending which could compromise its resistance. Correct tightening of the screws is essential to avoid premature loosening or slippage along the bone structure.
It is also recommended to carefully monitor the patient during the post-operative period to promptly identify the appearance of signs of infection, abnormal pain, edema or instability at the implant level, preparing all the necessary prevention and management measures for complications.
Method of administration
The application of the Fixin Supporto Recto 3 3 Holes 139 mm occurs through a surgical procedure under general anesthesia. After careful preparation and exposure of the bone site, the support is positioned on the surface to be stabilized, taking care to maintain the correct alignment and avoid excessive compression on the surrounding soft tissues. The three holes allow the progressive insertion of the screws, preferably in an order that ensures the balanced distribution of the tightening forces.
It is recommended to progressively tighten each screw until optimal stability is achieved, without causing excessive stress on the underlying bone. During the procedure, the position of the support can be slightly adjusted to improve compliance with the bone surfaces and ensure a perfect fit. At the end of the operation, the overlying soft tissues are closed, according to standard surgical suturing practices, thus reducing the risk of exposure or contamination of the device.
The support can be removed, if necessary, at a stage following complete healing, through a new surgical procedure, limiting trauma to the surrounding tissues to a minimum.
Treatment program
The treatment protocol with Fixin Strap Support 3 3 Holes 139 mm varies depending on the pathology treated and the clinical conditions of the patient. In the case of simple bone fractures, stabilization can be maintained until radiographic verification of the complete formation of the bone callus and consolidation of the fracture lines, with possible removal of the device where permanent fixation is not required. In cases of corrective osteotomies or reconstructive procedures, the support acts as a load-bearing structure throughout the period of tissue regeneration, which can extend over time in the presence of concomitant pathologies that slow down bone healing.
The duration of stabilization is defined case by case by the surgeon, on the basis of periodic clinical and instrumental checks. It is essential to gradually adapt the load on the treated limb to avoid sudden overloads that could cause device failure. In the presence of post-operative complications, such as infection or abnormal mobilization of the support, it is necessary to promptly re-evaluate the treatment plan and prepare the appropriate corrective measures. Collaboration between surgeon, physiotherapist and patient owner (in the veterinary field) is essential to optimize clinical results and ensure complete functional recovery.
Target species
The Fixin Straight Support 3 3 Holes 139 mm was designed mainly for use in veterinary orthopaedics, finding application in dogs, cats and other small pets during fractures, osteotomies and bone reconstructions. It can also be evaluated, upon specialist indication, for use in human orthopedic surgery, especially in selected situations where the geometry of the support responds to the anatomical and biomechanical needs of the patient. The choice of the device is made by the surgeon on the basis of the specifics of the clinical case and the morphological and functional peculiarities of the species treated.
