Intended Use

The Arthrex Modified Osteotomy System, designed for Opening Wedge Distal Tibial, Distal Femoral, Proximal Tibial Osteotomies, and High Tibial Closing Osteotomies, is used in conjunction with bone screws to provide fixation following surgery. Specifically for use in treatment of non-union, malunion, and fractures of proximal tibia, distal femur, and distal tibia including simple, comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar, combinations of lateral wedge and depression, and fractures with associated shaft fractures. Specially sloped plates can be used in cases when a tibial slope adjustment is needed. This system consists of plates and screws that join together to correct abnormalities or trauma related injuries. It is intended to be used with adequate post-operative immobilization.

Device Story

System consists of stainless steel plates and screws for bone fixation; used in orthopedic surgeries including osteotomies and fracture repair of proximal tibia, distal femur, and distal tibia. Plates provide structural support to correct abnormalities or trauma-related injuries; sloped plates available for tibial slope adjustment. Device used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings; requires post-operative immobilization. Output is mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel bone fixation plates and screws; non-sterile; mechanical fixation; various sizes and configurations.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring fixation following opening wedge distal tibial, distal femoral, proximal tibial osteotomies, or high tibial closing osteotomies. Also indicated for treatment of non-union, malunion, and fractures of the proximal tibia, distal femur, and distal tibia, including simple, comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar, and associated shaft fractures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

### Description:

The Arthrex Modified Osteotomy System consists of plates and screws that join together to correct abnormalities or trauma related injuries. Different sizes and configurations of the Modified Osteotomy System are available to address patient needs. The plates are configured to provide as much support as possible. The plates and screws are manufactured from stainless steel and are sold non-sterile.

## Substantial Equivalence:

The Arthrex Modified Osteotomy System is substantially equivalent to predicate devices where the basic features and intended uses are the same. Minor differences between the Modified Osteotomy System and predicate devices do not raise any questions concerning safety and effectiveness and have no apparent effect on the performance, function, or intended use of this device.
