Intended Use

The Synthes Curved Broad Plates are intended for fixation of various long bones, such as the humerus, femur, and tibia. They are also for use in fixation of peri-prosthetic fractures, osteopenic bone and non-unions or malunions. The Synthes Curved Condylar Plates are intended for buttressing multifragmentary distal femur fractures, including : supracondylar, intra-articular and extra-articular condylar fractures, peri-prosthetic fractures and fractures in normal or osteopenic bone, nonunions/malunions, and osteotomies of the femur.

Device Story

Synthes LCP Curved Plates are metallic bone fixation devices designed to match bone anatomy via a slight curve. Plates feature a limited contact profile and combination dynamic compression/locking screw holes. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for fracture fixation, non-unions, malunions, and osteotomies. The device provides structural support and stabilization to bone segments, facilitating healing and alignment. The surgeon selects the appropriate plate based on fracture location and bone quality, securing it to the bone to provide rigid fixation.

Clinical Evidence

bench testing only

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation plates; limited contact profile; combination dynamic compression/locking screw holes; curved geometry for anatomical fit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of long bones (humerus, femur, tibia), peri-prosthetic fractures, osteopenic bone, non-unions, malunions, and distal femur fractures (supracondylar, intra-articular, extra-articular) and osteotomies in adult patients.

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.
