Intended Use

Indications for interlocking intramedullary nails include simple long bone fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting, supracondylar fractures; bone lengthening. Interlocking intramedullary nails are indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of long bones being treated. In addition to the indications for interlocking intramedullary nails, devices that contain holes/slots proximally to accept screws that thread into the femoral head for compression and rotational stability (i.e. Femoral/Recon Antegrade Nail) are indicated for the following: subtrochanteric fractures with lesser trochanteric involvement; ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures; and intertrochanteric fractures. In addition to indications for interlocking intramedullary nails, devices that utilize a retrograde femoral surgical approach (i.e. Retrograde/Tibial and Supracondylar Nails) are indicated for the following: severely comminuted supracondylar fractures with or without difficult intra-articular extension; fractures that require opening the knee joint to stabilize the femoral condylar segment; fractures above total knee implants. Intramedullary locking nails (i.e. TriGen® Nails) are for single use only.

Device Story

TriGen® Retrograde Femoral, Supracondylar, and Tibial Nails are titanium intramedullary fixation devices. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings to stabilize long bone fractures. Nails are inserted into the medullary canal; interlocking screws provide fixation. Device provides mechanical stability to bone segments to facilitate healing. Single-use only.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and operational similarity to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium intramedullary nails and nail caps. Principle of operation involves intramedullary fixation via interlocking screws. Mechanical device; no software or energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with simple long bone fractures, comminuted/spiral/oblique/segmental fractures, nonunions/malunions, polytrauma, impending pathologic fractures, tumor resection/grafting, supracondylar fractures, and bone lengthening. Specific indications for retrograde approach include severely comminuted supracondylar fractures, fractures requiring knee joint opening, and fractures above total knee implants.

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.

#### Device Description:

The subject devices are line additions to the TriGen® Intramedullary Nail System. These line additions are comprised of retrograde femoral, supracondylar, and tibial intramedullary nails and a nail cap. All described components are manufactured from titanium material.

#### Indications for Use:

Indications for interlocking intramedullary nails include simple long bone fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting; supracondylar fractures; bone lengthening. Interlocking intramedullary nails are indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of long bones being treated.

In addition to the indications for interlocking intramedullary nails, devices that contain holes/slots proximally to accept screws that thread into the femoral head for compression and rotational stability (i.e. Femoral/Recon Antegrade Nail) are indicated for the following: subtrochanteric fractures with lesser trochanteric involvement, ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures; and intertrochanteric fractures.

In addition to indications for intramedullary nails, devices that utilize a retrograde femoral surgical approach {i.e. Retrograde/Tibial and Supracondy|ar Nails) are indicated for the following: severely comminuted supracondylar fractures with or without difficult intra-articular extension; fractures that require opening the knee joint to stabilize the femoral condylar segment; fractures above total knee implants.

intramedullary locking nails (i.e. TriGen® Nails) are for single use only.

### Technological Characteristics:

The principle of operation of the subject devices is identical to that of the predicates. There are no changes in intended use, performance specifications or method of operation. A review of the subject devices indicates that they are equivalent to the predicate devices currently in clinical use and are capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.

### Substantial Equivalence Information:

Substantial equivalence for TriGen® Retrograde Femoral, Supracondylar and Tibial Nails is based on its similarities in indications for use, design features, operational principles, and material composition when compared to the predicate devices cleared under the following submissions: K981529, Smith & Nephew Titanium (TriGen®) Intramedullary Hip System; K983942, Smith & Nephew Intramedullary Nail System; K032722, TriGen® Straight Humeral Nail; and K040212, TriGen® InterTAN Nails.
