Intended Use
The device is used for internal fracture fixation of small bone (toe, finger etc) and reconstruction of Mandible & Maxilla. (Craniomaxillofacial Skeleton)
Device Story
Leforte System Bone Plate is a metallic implant for internal fixation of small bones and craniomaxillofacial reconstruction. Device is manufactured from unalloyed titanium; intended for surgical use by physicians to stabilize fractures or reconstruct bone structures. Implant provides mechanical support to bone segments during healing process. Clinical benefit includes restoration of skeletal integrity and stabilization of fracture sites. Potential adverse effects include infection, nonunion, implant migration, or metal sensitivity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and comparison of material specifications and intended use to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Unalloyed Titanium (ASTM F67-95 G1). Design: Bone plates for internal fixation. Standards: ISO 14630, MDD 93/42/EEC. Non-sterile device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for internal fracture fixation of small bones (toe, finger, hand, foot) and reconstruction of the mandible and maxilla (craniomaxillofacial skeleton).
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.

- 5. Potential Adverse Affects and Complications: (Common to all devices of this type)
- Poor bone formation, Osteoporosis, Osteolysis, Osteomyelitis, inhibited . revascularization, or infection can cause loosening, bending, cracking or fracture of the device or premature loss of fixation with the bone, leading to nonunion.
- . Nonunion or delayed union which may lead to breakage of the implant.
- Migration, bending, fracture or loosening of the implant. .
- . Metal sensitivity, or allergic reaction to a foreign body.
- . Decrease in bone density due to stress shielding.
- Pain, discomfort, or abnormal sensation due to the presence of the device. .
- . Increased fibrous tissue response around the fracture site and/or the implant.
- . Necrosis of bone.
- . Inadequate healing. Apart from these adverse effects there are always possible complications of any
