Indications for Use

The Smith & Nephew VLP FOOT Plating System can be used in adolescent (12-18 years) and transitional adolescent (18-21 years) subpopulations and adults, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. The VLP FOOT Plating System is indicated for fracture fixation, reconstruction or arthrodesis of small bones, including those in the forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot. The Smith & Nephew PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plating System can be used in adolescent (12-18 years) and transitional adolescent (18-21 years) subpopulations and adults, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. The PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plating System is indicated for ankle arthrodesis and fractures, including the distal tibia, talus and calcaneus.

Device Story

Implantable locking bone plates and device-specific instruments; manufactured from stainless steel. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for bone fixation, reconstruction, or arthrodesis. Plates provide mechanical stabilization of bone fractures or fusion sites. Device-specific instruments facilitate surgical implantation. Benefits include structural support for healing small bones and ankle joints. Single-use only.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Implantable locking bone plates and associated instruments. Material: implant-grade stainless steel. Design: various lengths (67mm-104mm) with compression slots. Intended for internal fixation. Sterilization: not specified (standard for orthopedic implants).

Indications for Use

Indicated for fracture fixation, reconstruction, or arthrodesis of small bones (forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot) and ankle arthrodesis/fractures (distal tibia, talus, calcaneus). Patient population includes adolescents (12-18), transitional adolescents (18-21), and adults, including those with osteopenic bone.

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.

The Smith & Nephew PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plating System can be used in adolescent (12-18 years) and transitional adolescent (18-21 years) subpopulations and adults, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. The PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plating System is indicated for ankle arthrodesis and fractures, including the distal tibia, talus and calcaneus.

### Technological Characteristics:

The PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plates and VLP Extra Large Percutaneous Calcaneus Plate are very similar to legally marketed devices cleared under K110670. When compared to the predicates from K110670, the proposed devices share identical indications for use and intended use, are manufactured from identical materials, and incorporate identical or very similar technological design characteristics. The device specific instrument described in this premarket notification is also very similar to the predicate device specific instruments cleared under K110670.

### Substantial Equivalence Information:

When compared to the predicate implant and device specific instrument devices cleared under the premarket notification listed below, substantial equivalence is based on similarities with regard to overall indications for use, material composition, and technological design characteristics.

- · VLP FOOT Plating System and PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plating System Locking Bone Plates and Screws and Device Specific Instruments - K110670
To further support a determination of substantial equivalence, a pre-clinical evaluation was conducted on the PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plates described in this premarket notification. Results were compared against previously cleared PERI-LOC Ankle Fusion Plate predicate devices described above and cleared under K110670.

Dear Mr. Henley:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
