Intended Use

The Arthrex Compression Plates are intended to be used for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist, such as opening wedge osteotomies of Hallux Valgus.

Device Story

Arthrex Compression Plates are low-profile, stainless steel bone fixation devices; available in 20mm, 25mm, and 30mm interaxis lengths. Used by orthopedic surgeons for internal fixation of fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the extremities (ankle, foot, hand, wrist). Device provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Clinical benefit derived from maintaining alignment and compression during the bone healing process. Operation is manual, performed by a surgeon in a clinical/surgical setting.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing demonstrated that bending and compression distraction characteristics are substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Low-profile bone fixation plates; material: stainless steel; available in 20mm, 25mm, and 30mm interaxis lengths. Mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for internal bone fixation for fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist, including opening wedge osteotomies of Hallux Valgus.

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

• Arthrex Low Profile Plate and Screw System (K052614)
• Arthrex Small Fragment Plates and Screws (K040907)
• Arthrex Compression Staple (K080111)
