Intended Use
The PRO-TOE® Hammertoe Fixation Systems are indicated for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toes following correction procedures for hammertoe, claw toe, and mallet toe. Cannulated Implants in the PRO-TOE® Hammertoe Fixation Systems can be used with K-wires for the delivery of implants or the temporary stabilization of outlying joints (e.g. MTP Joint). The Implantable K-Wires are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, and as guide pins for insertion of other implants. Additionally, Implantable K-Wires are indicated for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toe following correction procedures for hammertoe, claw toe, mallet toe, and metatarsophalangeal joint instability.
Device Story
PRO-TOE® Hammertoe Fixation System consists of metallic implants (stainless steel or titanium) and instruments for lesser toe reconstruction; includes cannulated implants and implantable K-wires. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for fixation of osteotomies and stabilization of joints. Cannulated implants facilitate K-wire delivery; K-wires serve as guide pins or temporary stabilization for outlying joints like MTP. System provides mechanical fixation to maintain bone alignment during healing; benefits patients by correcting toe deformities and stabilizing joints post-procedure.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing (mathematical mechanical analysis of static bend testing).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: surgical grade stainless steel or titanium. Components: cannulated and non-cannulated metallic bone fixation fasteners and K-wires. Design: proximal and distal fixation features, multiple sizes. Energy source: none (mechanical). Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of lesser toes (hammertoe, claw toe, mallet toe) and metatarsophalangeal joint instability. Cannulated implants and K-wires used for bone fracture fixation, bone reconstruction, and temporary stabilization of outlying joints (e.g., MTP joint).
Regulatory Classification
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.

## (a)(4). Device Description
The PRO-TOE® Hammetoe Fixation System is composed of implants and instruments intended for use in the fixation or reconstruction of the lesser toes. The implants within the
{1}------------------------------------------------
PRO-TOE® Hammertoe System have proximal & distal fixation features and will be offered in multiple sizes. The implants are manufactured from stainless steel or titanium.
This submission seeks to add previously cleared WMT Implantable K-Wires to the system for use with cannulated implants, for which clearance is also sought in this submission. The WMT Implantable K-wires are offered in surgical grade stainless steel. A range of diameters and lengths are offered from the manufacturer and planning should be conducted prior to implantation to determine the best fit.
## (a)(5). INTENDED USE
The PRO-TOE® Hammertoe Fixation Systems are indicated for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toes following correction procedures for hammertoe, claw toe, and mallet toe.
Cannulated Implants in the PRO-TOE® Hammertoe Fixation Systems can be used with K-wires for the delivery of implants or the temporary stabilization of outlying joints (e.g. MTP Joint).
The Implantable K-Wires are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, and as guide pins for insertion of other implants. Additionally, Implantable K-Wires are indicated for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toe following correction procedures for hammertoe, claw toe, mallet toe, and metatarsophalangeal joint instability.
## (a)(6). Technological Characteristics Comparison
The PRO-TOE® Hammertoe Fixation System and the legally marketed predicate devices have similar indications, dimensions and geometry, and are identical in material. The purpose of this submission is to add PRO-TOE® VO Cannulated and PRO-TOE® C2 implants to the PRO-TOE® Hammertoe System. Indications have been updated to include the additional indication for temporary stabilization of outlying joints (e.g. MTP joint), identical to that of the previously cleared WMT Implantable K-Wire.
## (b)(1). Substantial Equivalence - Non-Clinical Evidence
Mathematical mechanical analysis related to static bend testing has shown that the subject implants do not present a new worst case.
## (b)(2). Substantial Equivalence - Clinical Evidence

## (b)(3). Substantial Equivalence - Conclusions
The design characteristics of the subject devices do not raise any new types of questions of safety or effectiveness. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k), the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate systems and are substantially equivalent.
