ComponentSelectionThe recommended charts on page 6can be used to determine proper framecomponents for the fracture beingtreated but can of course vary fromone clinical situation to another. Thetype of tube selected is determined by:
• Location/type of fracture
• Patient’s weight (Dynamic Tubes only)
• Length of tube required
• Dynamisation requirements.
Dynamic Monotube Triax
Dynamic Tubes include an internalcompression/distraction mechanism,which is useful in lengtheningprocedures and to adjust fracturereductions. The long portion of thetube is referenced as the LengtheningSegment. The shorter portion is calledthe Dynamisation Segment andincludes two adjustable dynamisationfeatures: Biocompression andAdjustable Bio-Spring. These tubes areavailable in three colour-coded sizes:Yellow, Blue, and Red. Use Chart No1(page 6) to select the proper tube size,based on fracture type and patient'sweight.
Triax Carbon Tubes
Carbon Tubes should be used whendynamisation is not desired, or when aradiolucent tube is helpful as in thecase with distal radius and proximaltibial fractures. This economical optionalso comes in the same three diametersizes and a variety of lengths aspresented in Chart No 2 (page 6). Thehollow carbon tube comes completewith end caps, which prevent the pinclamps from sliding off the tubeduring frame application.

The Monotube Triax Pin Clamp allowsindependent control of the fracturereduction in three planes. Clamps maybe placed anywhere along the length ofthe tube at virtually any angle,wherever the best bone purchase maybe available.
A unique compression sleeve allows forexcellent mobility in rotationpreventing deviation of the pin clampwhile guaranteeing maximum stability.
The two outer square head screws Awhen tightened hold the pins in theclamp. Each screw can independentlylock up to two pins in place. The redand blue Triax Clamps have four pinpositions, and the yellow Triax Clamphas two pin positions.
The centre square head screw B allowsfor +/- 20° degrees of angulation in thesagittal plane.
The side square head screw C allowsfor 360° of rotation in the coronalplane.
The square head screw D at the bottomof the clamp allows for translationalong the length of the tube and for360° rotation around the axis of thetube.
Note: All square head screws need tobe tightened to the appropriatetorque to maintain adequate stabilityusing the torque wrench.
Monotube Triax Pin Clamps
Also identified by three colour-codedsizes, the Monotube Triax Clamps eachaccept a minimum of two half pindiameters as also indicated in ChartNo 2. The clamps come in a variety ofstyles, including Hybrid Clamps, toaccommodate even the mostchallenging fracture pattern.
Note: Blue and Red components have7mm square head screws and Yellowcomponents have 5mm square headscrews.

Preparation
To prepare for application of theframe, remove “O”-Rings, and placeselected clamps on the tube. Once theclamps are in place, replace the “O”-Rings to prevent the clamps fromsliding off the frame during theprocedure (Figure 1).
Positioning of theDynamic Tube
The Dynamic Tube may be placedwith the dynamisation segmentpositioned either proximally or distallyto accommodate any fracture patternand provide a variety of pin placementoptions (Figure 2).
The tube should be distracted to 1cmbefore use. The dynamisation collarshould be locked before placement(See figure 12 and 13).
Pin Placement
Once a gross reduction is achieved, thefirst Apex self-tapping, self-drillingpin†, usually considered the mostcritical, is placed approximately threefingerbreadths proximal or distal tothe fracture, depending on surgeonpreference. Care should be taken to seethat the first pin is placed properly inthe best quality bone. Insert thePredrill Assembly through the clampand into hole No 4 (Figure 4). (Theholes in the clamp are referred to asholes No 1-No 4; the hole closest tothe fracture is always hole No 4). Aftermaking a small incision, split the softtissue with forceps. Insert the PredrillAssembly through the incision andpush down until sleeve isperpendicular to and touches thebone. Holding the sleeve in thisposition, insert the self-drilling, self-tapping Apex Pin (Figure 5).
†If non-self-drilling self-tappingApex Pins are preferred, see page 8 ofthis technique for the pre-drillingprotocol.

Turn the drill brace counterclockwisefour to five turns. The Apex pin tip willmark the cortex and prevent slipping ofthe pin. Turn the drill brace clockwise,driving the Apex Pin through the firstcortex†. Resistance will be felt as the tipof the pin begins to penetrate the secondcortex. The pin should be advanced untilboth cortices are fully engaged. Removethe drill brace from the pin.
Place second pin in hole No 1, utilisingthe same technique (Figure 6).

Frame Application with Dynamic Monotube Triax
Operative Technique
NOTE: It is important that alladjustment screws should bepositioned outward and within easyreach to facilitate adjustment,tightening and final locking of thefixator. It is also important that theTube should be distracted at least onecentimetre prior to applicationallowing for compression/distractionand fine-tuning of the reductionpostoperatively. Care should be takenthat the collar should always be closedprior to dynamisation application.
Using the same technique for theopposite side of the fracture, place thethird pin at least three fingerbreadthsfrom the fracture, again taking care to seethat the pin is placed properly in the bestquality bone.A third incision is made and anadditional Predrill Assembly is insertedthrough hole No 1 in the Pin Clamp.The procedure is repeated for the finalpin in hole No 4 (Figure 7).
Although pins are typically placed inholes No 1 and No 4, when usingmultiple pin clamps, holes No 2 and No3 can be used, if necessary.
†NOTE: Always use Apex Pins with theMonotube Triax system.
Pin Clamp Function
It is important to review the function ofthe Pin Clamps. The two outer screws(A) on the clamp face, when tightened,hold the clamp to the pins. The centrescrew (B) locks +/– 20° of angulation.The side screw (C) locks the 360°rotation of the clamp. The nut on thebottom of the clamp (D) locks theclamp-to-tube connection (Figure 8).
Final Reduction
All Predrill Assemblies are nowremoved and the proximal pin groupis locked into the clamp, which is leftloose on the tube.
The tube will now slide freely with theclamps, allowing for final reduction.

Locking the Fixator
Once an anatomical reduction isachieved, lock the fixator in all planes.The torque wrench should be usedafter initial tightening to assure allclamps are locked properly. For theRed system, this assures thecomponents are tightened to 11Nm;for the Blue system 9Nm; and for theYellow 5Nm.
Use of Monotube Torque Wrench
Proper use of the torque wrench isimportant. Make sure the torquewrench head is fully seated over theclamp screw.
Grip the end of the wrench handle,keeping the thumb in a “fist” position(Figure 9). Tighten the clamp screwonly until the silver torque wrench barcontacts the colour-coded handle.When the bar and the wrench handlecome in contact, the clamp screw hasbeen tightened to the recommendedmaximum torque (Figure 10).
Improper placement of the thumb canchange the torque level achieved bythe wrench. This may result inundertightening of the screws on theclamp (Figure 11).
NOTE: Do not overtighten as thismay damage the clamp or torquewrench.

Locking theDynamisation Features
Finally, and most importantly, be surethat the dynamisation collar is fullyclosed and that the frame is staticbefore application (Figure 12).
Bio-Spring tension should also be fullyreleased. The Bio-Spring tensionadjustment screw is located on the endof the dynamisation segment of thetube. Upon frame application, thespring should be in released position,i.e., turned until silver disc is flushwith the end of the tube (Figure 13).
Compression/Distraction
If compression/distraction of thereduction is required after frameapplication, this can be accomplishedby using the internal compression/distraction mechanism. Thecompression/distraction adjustmentnut is located on the end of thelengthening segment of the tube, (+)=distraction and (–)= compression. One complete revolution of the screwprovides 1mm of compression ordistraction (Figure 14).

Dynamic Monotube Triax allows thesurgeon to control the dynamisationprocess with two adjustments:
• The Biocompression Collar allowsuser to set the amount ofmicromotion at the fracture site.Although the collar opens to 3mm,it is not recommended to open itmore than 1mm (Figure 15)
• The Adjustable Bio-Spring allowsthe surgeon to vary the amount ofweight or force required to make theframe move the distance set on theBiocompression Collar. Chart No 3highlights the weight required tomove each size Monotube based onspring tension (1kg=2.2lb).

Stable Fracture patterns
Biocompression is recommended forstable fracture patterns. The framemay be dynamised anytime afterapplication. The following stepsshould be followed:
1. Open the dynamisation collar to1mm (one complete revolution ofthe dynamisation collar equates to1mm). Use the dynamisationwrench if necessary.
Unstable Fracture patterns
Adjustable Bio-Spring isrecommended for unstable fracturepatterns and leg lengthening. Theframe may be dynamised once callus isevident on the X-ray, approximately 21to 28 days postoperatively. Todynamise the frame, the followingsequence should be followed:
1. Advance Adjustable Bio-Springtension screw clockwise until fullycompressed, about 71/2 full turns.The screw will recede into the tubeas it compresses the spring.
2. Open the dynamisation collar to onemillimetre. Use the dynamisationwrench if necessary.
3. Reduce Bio-Spring tension one fullturn anti-clockwise each week. Besure to check that biocompressioncollar is still set at 1mm after eachspring adjustment. The forcerequired to dynamise the frame willbe progressively reduced.
Note: X-ray visualisation is requiredto determine callus formation.

Triax Carbon Tubes
If the fracture does not requiredynamisation or if a radiolucent frameis desired, carbon tubes can besubstituted for the dynamic tube.Surgical protocol does not vary exceptfor placement of clamps on the tube.To place clamps on the tube, removecoloured end cap. Simply slide clampsonto the tube and replace end caps(Figure 16).
Carbon tubes are available in 3diameters; Yellow 15, Blue 20, Red 25and in lengths from 150 – 400mm.
• Compression or distraction can nowbe achieved – maximumdistraction/compression is asfollows:Yellow 20mmBlue 30mmRed 30mm.
Compression Distraction Device
The Triax Carbon Tube requires anexternal compression/distractiondevice. To use the device, position the“chariot” over the back of the pinclamp and wrap the lockingmechanism around the tube. Tightenthe locking screw, utilising the wrench.Loosen pin clamp screw (D), utilisingtorque wrench. Compression ordistraction can be useful when fine-tuning the reduction. One revolutionof the Thumbwheel provides for 1mm of compression or distraction. Theexternal compression/distractiondevice can then be removed or left on.In either case, retighten the pin clampscrews to proper torque once finishedwith adjustment.

If the surgeon would like to use blunt,self-tapping pins, the pin placementcan be facilitated using a triple guidesleeve mechanism and the appropriatedrill for the pins being used.
To place the pins, insert the desiredtriple drill guide into the pin clamp.The first pin should be placed threefingerbreadths from the fracture. A1cm longitudinal incision is madewith a blunt dissection through thetissue to bone. Insert the PredrillAssembly mechanism through hole No1 of the proximal clamp (Figure 18).Insert the Predrill Assemblymechanism down to bone, holding itperpendicular to the bone. Lightly tapthe trocar, which will prevent skiddingof the drill bit. The trocar is removedleaving the drill guide in the tissueprotecting sleeve. Introduce the drillbit, and drill through both cortices ofthe bone (Figure 19). Remove the drillbit and the drill guide sleeve, and insert selected blunt Apex Pinthrough the tissue sleeve, utilising aDrill Brace or a T-inserter (Figure 20).
Advance pin until both cortices arefully engaged. After placing the firstpin, repeat the procedure for the second pin in hole No 4 of theclamp. Use same technique for second pinclamp and continue with frameapplication (Figure 21).
