1. Before using this product, the user must carefully read the "Orthopedic Internal Fixation" recommended by the AO organization and related materials, and be proficient in the operation of this product, and should operate strictly in accordance with the instruction manual.
2. Transport and store the implant carefully. Collision, bending and scratching of the product will significantly reduce the strength and fatigue life of the product, and cause the product to break. If the product is found to be deformed before use, stop using it.
3. Products of different specifications must be prepared during the operation. It is extremely important to choose the correct product during the operation. If the size of the product is correctly selected, the success rate of the operation increases. On the contrary, wrong selection, installation, positioning and fixing will cause abnormal pressure, thereby shortening the service life of the product.
4. The product is a device used to bear the load and maintain the orthopedic sequence until the normal physiological structure is formed. If the formation of the normal physiological structure is delayed or does not heal, the product will bear additional and repeated loads, which will eventually cause the product to loosen, bend, and fatigue break etc.
5. X-ray examinations should be done regularly in the first year after the operation, and careful comparisons should be made to check whether there are any changes in the position of the product, looseness, bending, fracture, and signs of delayed healing or non-union. If these signs appear, the patient needs to be closely observed to assess the possibility of further deterioration, and consider reducing activities or even early repair.
6. Carefully advise the patient that postoperative care and the patient's willingness and ability to comply with the doctor's advice are two important factors for successful fracture healing. It is especially important for the treatment of unstable fractures. It is important for patients to realize that product restrictions, physical activity and bearing weight may cause the product to loosen, bend and break before the bones heal; patients should also understand that the product is not as tough as normal healthy bones. And the product cannot restore the flexibility, strength, reliability or durability of the bone to be the same as normal bone. Before the bones are fully healed, even under normal stress and weight bearing conditions, fractures will occur and cause the need to be replaced later. Patients can not move frequently and are too tired, and uncooperative patients should limit their activities appropriately.
7. After the bones are completely healed, the product will also loosen, break, and corrode. Therefore, one year after the operation, X-ray shows that the fracture is completely healed, and the product can be taken out. Failure to take it for more than 1.5 years may cause the following complications: implant failure, corrosion, soft tissue reaction or pain, displacement causing damage to soft tissue, internal organs, nerves and joints; postoperative trauma, causing additional risk of injury ; Difficult to take out the product; pain or uncomfortable sensation caused by the presence of the product in the body; increase the risk of infection and reduce the bone's due capacity.
8. When taking out the product, the risks brought by the second operation should be considered. Therefore, before the operation, preparations should be made to prevent another fracture.
9. Reduce the bone fragments as much as possible, and restore the integrity of the articular surface if it involves joint fractures.
10. If the fracture is accompanied by severe soft tissue swelling or extensive skin contusion, these complications should be cured first, and then a second-stage open reduction and fixation should be performed.
The product is used alone and is suitable for internal fixation of limb fractures (except for femoral neck, clavicle, and pelvic fractures).
