They are indicated for use in the internal fixation of fractures, boney fusion, and non-unions. They are also indicated for reconstructive procedures where reduction and fixation of bone fragments are required (e.g. osteotomies.) The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System Beams are indicated for lateral column lengthening and for fusions of any joint in the foot/ankle appropriate for the size of the device, including tarso-metatarsal, metatarsalcuneiform, calcaneal-cuboid, talo-navicular, LisFranc, Four-Corner, subtalar, and ankle joint. ## Device Story ENDO-FUSE system consists of titanium alloy triangular rods and barbell-shaped beams; implanted surgically into bone to create fixation. Devices feature CP titanium plasma spray coating to achieve interference fit. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for bone fixation and joint fusion. System provides mechanical stability to bone fragments or joints; prevents distraction of opposing bones. Benefits include effective fixation and fusion support for fractures and reconstructive procedures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing: static shear strength (ASTM F1044), shear fatigue (ASTM F1160), static tensile (ASTM F1147), and four-point bending fatigue. Cadaveric testing performed to evaluate rod insertion and beam distraction resistance. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Titanium alloy with CP titanium plasma spray coating. Sensing/Actuation: Mechanical interference fit. Energy Source: None (manual surgical implantation). Form Factor: Triangular rods and barbell-shaped beams. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - ROI Fusion Rods and Plates ([K051309](/device/K051309.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System consists of titanium alloy triangular-shaped rods and "barbell" shaped beams intended for surgical implantation within the bone to create fixation. The rods are available in various lengths and diameters and the beams in various widths and lengths. Both rods and beams are roughened with a coating of CP titanium plasma spray which is important for achieving fixation via an interference fit inside the bone. p. 1 of 3 echnology, Inc. 5677 Airline Road Arlington, TN 38002 **www.wmt.com** {1}------------------------------------------------ 102324 ### B. INTENDED USE The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System Rods are generally indicated for the reduction and fixation of fractures appropriate for the size of the devices. They are indicated for use in the internal fixation of fractures, boney fusion, and non-unions. They are also indicated for reconstructive procedures where reduction and fixation of bone fragments are required (e.g. osteotomies.) The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System Beams are indicated for lateral column lengthening and for fusions of any joint in the foot/ankle appropriate for the size of the device, including tarso-metatarsal-cuneiform; calcaneal-cuboid, talo-navicular, LisFranc, Four-Corner, subtalar, and ankle joint. #### C. PERFORMANCE DATA The following performance data was used to support the safety and efficacy of the ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System: - Mechanical Property Testing of Plasma Spray Coating . Static shear strength testing per ASTM F1044, shear fatigue strength testing per ASTM F1160, and static tensile testing per ASTM F1147 were performed on worst-case coated test coupons. All test specimens passed, per the pre-defined acceptance criteria. - Fatigue Testing . Four-point bending fatigue testing was conducted on worst-case subject devices and compared to FDA-cleared devices. Results indicated that the subject devices were able to withstand higher cyclic loads than the predicate, and the acceptance criterion was met. - Cadaveric Rod Insertion Testing . Rod insertion testing was performed to investigate whether or not any clinically relevant distraction of the distal bone/fracture fragment occurs during rod insertion. The implantation results after insertion were deemed acceptable per the pre-defined acceptance criteria. Cadaveric and Mechanical Beam Distraction Resistance Testing . Beam distraction resistance testing was performed on subject and predicate devices to show that the subject device could effectively prevent distraction of opposing bones after implantation. The subject device experienced greater distraction resistance than the predicate, and the acceptance criterion was met. ## D. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE INFORMATION The safety and efficacy of the ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System is adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials information, and analysis data provided within this 510(k), including the following: a device description and surgical technique comparison to the predicate, physical and mechanical property analysis of the plasma spray coating, FIEA and mechanical {2}------------------------------------------------ # |02324 fatigue testing comparison to predicate, rod insertion testing, an appositional bone analysis compared to predicate, and cadaveric beam distraction resistance testing. p. 3 of 3 {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
