Cable-Ready Greater Trochanteric Reattachment Surgical Technique

Short Integral Crimp GTR
Surgical Technique
Cable Insertion
Individual cables may be inserted
into the GTR before or after the GTR is
attached to the bone. However, the
cables must be inserted into the GTR
prior to passing the cable around the
femur. Two cables are included with
the GTR device. Should the most distal
cable be necessary, it is not packaged
with the device but is available
separately (item #00-2232-004-18).

Note: Cables can be passed from
medial to lateral or lateral to medial
depending on surgeon preference.
Place the first cable just distal to the
lesser trochanter, and the second
cable distal to the first cable. Do not
place the cable directly around the
prosthesis.

Impaction
Screw the Impact Driver into the
GTR. Impact the GTR onto the greater
trochanter. The upper hooks should
engage and wrap around the superior
portion of the trochanter (Fig. 2).

In the usual lateral approach to
the femur, insert the cable into the
posterior side of the GTR (transverse
hole without the set screw), and pull
until the plug countersinks into the
plate. Pass the large Cable Passer
around the proximal femur from
posterior to anterior. Insert the free end
of the cable into the tip of the Cable
Passer until the cable is seen exiting
from the shaft of the Cable Passer (Fig.
1). Withdraw the Cable Passer, leaving
the cable around the bone. Insert the
cable through the transverse hole with
the Cable Passer.

Tensioning and Locking the
Cable
It is recommended to use a cable at
each transverse pair of holes. Whether
or not a cable is utilized at a particular
location in the GTR, all set screws
must be seated at completion of the
procedure.
To tension the cable, insert the Cable
Plate Tensioner Bit (#00-2232-009-00)
into the tensioner. Thread the cable
completely through the tensioner
and pull the slack out of the cable.
Depress the lever at the back end of the
tensioner to lock the cable. To remove
any remaining slack in the cable,
depress the button on the tensioner
and pull out the excess slack. Rotate
the handle of the tensioner clockwise
until the desired tension is achieved
(Fig. 3).

If an osteotomy was performed, use
the Impact Driver as a guide and
advance the greater trochanter onto a
good bed of bleeding bone.
Note: The most common reason for
nonunion of the greater trochanter
is poor or inadequate bone contact
between the greater trochanter and
proximal femur.

The following tensioning sequence
is recommended. Tension the cables
in proximal to distal direction, using
the tensioner bits to hold the tension.
Note: If a third cable is desired when
using the Short GTR, an externally
crimped cerclage cable (#00-2232-00418) can be passed through the distal
hole, and tensioned using the Cerclage
Attachment Bit (#00-2232-008-00).
Start proximally and work distally,
tensioning each cable and locking by
screwing in the appropriate set screw
in the GTR.

Note: Whether or not all cable
locations are utilized, all set screws
should be locked down at the
completion of the procedure.

After each set screw is firmly seated
(Fig. 4), the tensioner and bits are
removed and the excess cable is cut off
flush with the GTR (Fig. 5).

Cable Insertion
Individual cables may be inserted
into the GTR before or after the GTR is
attached to the bone (Fig. 6). However,
the cables must be inserted into the
GTR prior to passing the cable around
the femur.

Pass the large Cable Passer around
the proximal femur from posterior to
anterior. Insert the free end of the
cable into the tip of the Cable Passer
until the cable is seen exiting from the
shaft of the Cable Passer. Withdraw the
Cable Passer, leaving the cable around
the bone. Insert the cable through the
transverse hole with the set screw.
Note: Cables can be passed from
medial to lateral or lateral to medial
depending on surgeon preference.

cable distal to the first cable. Do not
place the cable directly around the
prosthesis.

If an osteotomy was performed, use the
Impact Driver as a guide and advance
the greater trochanter onto a good bed
of bleeding bone.
Note: The most common reason for
nonunion of the greater trochanter
is poor or inadequate bone contact
between the greater trochanter and
proximal femur.

The following tensioning sequence
is recommended. Tension the two
proximal cables first, using the
tensioner bits to hold the tension. The
distal cables in the plate section of the
Long GTR can then be tensioned, again
using the Bone Plate Tensioner Bits
to hold the tension (Fig. 10). The set
screws are not locked down at
this time.

Tensioning and Locking the
Cable
It is recommended to use a cable at
each transverse pair of holes. Whether
or not a cable is utilized at a particular
location in the GTR, all set screws
must be seated at completion of the
procedure.
To tension the cable, insert the Cable
Plate Tensioner Bit (#00-2232-009-00)
into the tensioner. Thread the cable
completely through the tensioner
and pull the slack out of the cable.
Depress the lever at the back end of the
tensioner to lock the cable. To remove
any remaining slack in the cable,
depress the button on the tensioner
and pull out the excess slack. Rotate
the handle of the tensioner clockwise
until the desired tension is achieved
(Fig. 9).

After each set screw is firmly seated,
the tensioner and bits are removed and

GTR Surgical Technique
Cable Insertion
Individual cables may be inserted
into the GTR before or after the GTR
is attached to the bone (Fig. 12).
However, the cables must be inserted
into the GTR prior to passing the cable
around the femur.

Cable Passer

Pass the large Cable Passer around
the proximal femur from posterior to
anterior. Insert the free end of the
cable into the tip of the Cable Passer
until the cable is seen exiting from the
shaft of the Cable Passer. Withdraw the
Cable Passer, leaving the cable around
the bone. Insert the cable through the
transverse hole with the set screw.
Note: Cables can be passed from
medial to lateral or lateral to medial
depending on surgeon preference.
Place the first cable just distal to the
lesser trochanter, and the second
cable distal to the first cable. Do not
place the cable directly around the
prosthesis.

Fracture Reduction
The order of cable insertion depends
upon the fracture pattern, particular
use or situation. The cables can be
loosely tensioned by hand and held
with retensioning bits. The bone
fragments are then manipulated and
final reduction accomplished.
Extended GTR Tech Tip #2 - If cables are
inserted and pre-tensioned proximally
and on each end of the plate section
of the Extended GTR, the GTR and bone
can be grossly stabilized (Fig. 14). The
cables are very useful in holding the
reduction while cortical bone screws
are inserted.

Extended GTR Tech Tip #1 - the cables
may be harder to insert at the distal end
of the GTR if access is limited due to the
muscles, so it may be easier to insert
the distal cables into the GTR prior to
inserting the GTR.

In the usual lateral approach to
the femur, insert the cable into the
posterior side of the GTR (transverse
hole without the set screw), and pull
until the plug countersinks into the
plate (Fig. 13).

Tensioning and Locking the
Cable
It is recommended to use a cable at
each transverse pair of holes. Whether
or not a cable is utilized at a particular
location in the GTR, all set screws
must be seated at completion of the
procedure.
To tension the cable, insert the Cable
Plate Tensioner Bit (#00-2232-009-00)
into the tensioner. Thread the cable
completely through the tensioner and
pull the slack out of the cable (Fig. 15).

Extended GTR Tech Tip #3 - Once the
cables are pre-tensioned and the
fracture is reduced, cortical screws can
be inserted through the applicable
slots in the GTR (Fig. 16). Screws add
rotational stability, while cables add
bending strength to the construct.
Because cables do not provide
rotational stability, cortical screws
should always be used on both sides
(proximal and distal) of the fracture,
even if only unicortical screws are
used (4.5mm Trilogy® Acetabular
System Cortical Bone Screw Fixation
or NexGen® Complete Knee Solution
Osteotomy Screws are recommended).
Cables should not be locked down until
after screws are added, because the
addition of screws will fixate the GTR to
the bone and may loosen the tension in
the cables.

After screws have been added to the
GTR, the cables can be brought to final
tension. Start proximally and work
distally, tensioning each cable and
locking by screwing in the appropriate
set screw in the GTR (Fig. 17).
Note: Whether or not all cable
locations are utilized, all set screws
should be locked down at the
completion of the procedure.

Fig. 17

After each set screw is firmly seated,
the tensioner and bits are removed and
the excess cable is cut off flush with the
GTR (Fig. 18).

Fig. 15

Depress the lever at the back end of the
tensioner to lock the cable. To remove
any remaining slack in the cable,
depress the button on the tensioner
and pull out the excess slack. Rotate
the handle of the tensioner clockwise
until the desired tension is achieved.
The following tensioning sequence
is recommended. Tension the two
proximal cables first, using the
tensioner bits to hold the tension. The
distal cables in the plate section of the
4-hole and 5-hole Extended GTRs can
then be tensioned, again using the
Cable Plate Tensioner Bits to hold the
tension. The set screws are not locked
down at this time.
