Intended Use

The Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System is intended for fixation of fractures, joint contractures, fusions, limb lengthening, deformity correction, bone and soft tissue reconstruction in pediatric patients and adults.

Device Story

External fixation system for orthopedic reconstruction; components include carbon/aluminum rings, foot rings, threaded rods, telescopic/static struts, bolts, and wires. Used in clinical settings by surgeons for bone stabilization, lengthening, and deformity correction. System provides mechanical support to bone segments; allows for distraction and fixation. Compatible with other Howmedica Osteonics external fixation systems and various pins/posts. Benefits include stabilization of complex fractures and correction of skeletal deformities.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including static and dynamic frame testing, wire strength, compression, bending, slipping, and splitting tests in compliance with ASTM F1541-02.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Carbon and Aluminum. Components: Full/open rings, ring segments, foot rings, threaded rods, telescopic/static struts, bolts, wires. Standards: ASTM F1541-02. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for pediatric and adult patients for treatment/fixation of open/closed fractures, post-traumatic joint contracture, fractures requiring distraction, pseudoarthrosis/non-union of long bones, limb lengthening, bony/soft tissue deformity or defect correction, joint arthrodesis, and distal radius comminuted intra-articular fractures. Adults only: osteotomy, revision procedures, bone reconstruction, foot fusions/replantations, Charcot foot reconstruction, and Lisfranc dislocations.

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.

Predicate Devices

• External Fixation Systems (K031181)
• Hoffman II Foot Ring (K041706)
• Titan Tibial Nail (T2 Nail) (K003018)

# 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

## Description:

This Traditional 510(k) submission is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to provide authorization to market the new Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System. The Hoffmann LRF System is an external fixation device that consists of Carbon and Aluminum Full/Open rings and ring segments, Aluminum foot rings, threaded rods and threaded rod connecting nuts, telescopic struts, static struts and connection bolts, posts and connecting nuts, wires and wire bolts, wire bolt offset adapters, pin bolts and pin adapters. This external fixation system may also be used with the components in other Howmedica Osteonics external fixation systems such as the Monticelli Spinelli External Fixation System, the Hoffmann II MRI External Fixation System, and the Stryker Trauma Pelvic Set and in conjunction with commercially available Apex Pins, Hoffmann II External Fixation 90° Post, Carbon Connecting Rod and Miami Post.

## Intended Use:

The Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System is intended for fixation of fractures, joint contractures, fusions, limb lengthening, deformity correction, bone and soft tissue reconstruction in pediatric patients and adults.

# Indications:

The Stryker Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System is indicated in pediatric patients and adults for the treatment and fixation of:

- Open and Closed Fractures .
- Post-traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion .
- Fractures and disease which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range . of motion and fractures requiring distraction
- . Pseudoarthrosis or non-union of long bones
- . Limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction
- Correction of bony or soft tissue deformity .
- Correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects .
- . Joint arthrodesis
- . Management of comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal radius

The Stryker Hoffmann LRF System is indicated in adults for:

- . Osteotomy
- Revision procedure where other treatments or devices have been unsuccessful .
- . Bone reconstruction procedures
- Fusions and replantations of the foot .
- Charcot foot reconstruction �
- Lisfranc dislocations .

# Summary of Technologies:

Device comparison showed that the proposed device is substantially equivalent in intended, use, materials and performance characteristics to the following predicate devices:

- K031181 External Fixation Systems (Smith & Nephew) �
- K041706 Hoffman II Foot Ring
- . K003018 Titan Tibial Nail (T2 Nail)

# Non-Clinical Testing:

Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed for the Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System components to determine substantial equivalence. Non-clinical testing was performed with compliance to ASTM F1541-02 - "Standard Specification and Test Methods for External Skeletal Fixation Device." Static and dynamic frame testing was performed. Wire Strength, Compression, Bending, Slipping and Splitting testing was also performed on the frame components. Testing demonstrated that the Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System is substantially equivalent to devices currently cleared for marketing.

Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required for this submission.

Conclusion: The Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified in this premarket notification.
