Intended Use

The Stryker Cross-Pinned Interference Screw System is intended for use in the surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knee to provide interference fixation of the various ACL allografts and autografts, including the patella bone-patellar tendontibial bone graft complex, the semi-tendinosus tendon graft, the semi-membranosus tendon graft, and the Achilles tendon graft.

Device Story

The Stryker Cross-Pinned Interference Screw is an orthopedic implant system used in ACL reconstruction surgery. It consists of an interference screw with a transverse hole and an optional cross pin for adjunctive fixation. The system includes specialized instruments, such as a drill guide, to ensure alignment for the cross pin. The device is used by surgeons in an operating room setting to secure ACL allografts or autografts within the knee. By providing both interference screw fixation and optional cross-pinning, the device enhances graft stability. Cadaver testing demonstrated increased yield and ultimate load strength compared to traditional interference screws, potentially improving clinical outcomes for patients undergoing ligament reconstruction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Cadaver testing was performed to compare the strength of the cross-pinned interference screw against the predicate device, demonstrating a significant increase in both yield load and ultimate load.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Ti-6AI-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Components: Interference screw with transverse hole and optional cross pin. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation (EN 552) or Ethylene oxide (EN 550) to SAL 10^-6. Biocompatibility: ISO-10993 and G95-1 compliant. Packaging: ASTM 4169.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing surgical reconstruction of an ACL-deficient knee requiring interference fixation of allografts or autografts (patellar tendon, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, or Achilles tendon).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

### Summary

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with requirements of SMDA 1990.

The Stryker Cross-Pinned Interference Screw is intended for use in the surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knee to provide interference fixation of the various ACL allografts and autografts, including the patellar tendon-tibial bone graft complex, the semitendinosus tendon graft, the semi-membranosus tendon graft, and the Achilles tendon graft. The interference screw fixation technique is a common method in orthopedic surgery, and has been well published in professional journals such as Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery.

The Stryker Cross-Pinned Interference Screw consists of an implant and associated instruments for installation of the implant. The implant consists of two components: an interference screw and a cross pin. The interference screw has a transverse hole in it for receipt of the cross pin. The cross pin is available for optional use by the user, in the event that adjunctive fixation is deemed appropriate. A drill guide provides alignment for drilling a hole coincident with the hole in interference screw and for receiving the cross pin.

Both implants will be provided sterile for single-use applications (ASTM 4169). These devices will be sterilized by Gamma irradiation (EN 552) or Ethylene oxide (EN550), including limits for Ethylene Oxide residuals and validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 *. The devices are biocompatible per ISO-10993 and G95-1. The Stryker Cross-Pinned Interference Screw is equivalent in intended use, safety, and efficacy to the predicate device. The cadaver testing showed a significant strength increase of both the yield load and the ultimate load. The material of construction is Ti-6AI-4 V ELI per ASTM F136.

The Stryker Cross-Pinned Interference Screw System does not raise new issues when compared to the currently marketed predicate device. Therefore, it is considered substantially equivalent to the Stryker Wedge Interference Screw System.
