Intended Use
Avanta Orthopaedics Radial Head implant is intended for replacement of the proximal end of the radius: Replacement of the radial head for degenerative, or post-traumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation and decreased motion at the radiohumeral and or proximal radio-ulnar joint with: joint destruction or subluxation visible on x-ray . resistance to conservative treatment . Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection .
Device Story
Radial head implant designed for surgical replacement of proximal radius. Implant features stem for intramedullary canal fixation; non-constrained design. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Provides mechanical replacement of radial head to restore joint function, alleviate pain, and address post-traumatic or degenerative disabilities. Implanted via surgical procedure; intended for long-term use (>30 days).
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design characteristics and material comparisons.
Technological Characteristics
Radial head implant; materials include Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr) and Commercially Pure Titanium (CpTi); non-constrained design; intramedullary stem fixation; single-use; available in 3 sizes.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring replacement of the proximal radius due to degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities (pain, crepitation, decreased motion at radiohumeral/proximal radio-ulnar joints) with radiographic joint destruction/subluxation and resistance to conservative treatment; primary replacement after radial head fracture; or symptomatic sequelae following radial head resection.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An elbow joint radial (hemi-elbow) polymer prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted made of medical grade silicone elastomer used to replace the proximal end of the radius.

Dear Ms. Focht:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
