Large Cannulated Screws (5mm and larger in diameter) are intended for use in: 1. Fixation of fractures in long bones and long bone fragments. 2. Long bone osteotomies (femur, tibia, foot, ankle, olecranon). 3. Arthrodesis, and fracture fixation of the foot and ankle, such as Jones fractures of the fifth metatarsal, and Calcaneal fractures. Large Cannulated Screws (6.5mm and larger in diameter) are intended for use in: 1. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis 2. Pediatric femoral neck fractures 3. Tibial plateau fractures 4. SI joint disruptions 5. Intercondylar femur fractures 6. Subtalar arthrodesis 7. Fixation of pelvis and iliosacral joint.
Device Story
Biomet Cannulated Screw System consists of metallic bone screws and washers; used for alignment and stabilization of skeletal fractures and osteotomies. Device implanted by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Screws provide mechanical fixation to bone fragments; cannulated design allows placement over guide wires. System includes various diameters for specific anatomical applications ranging from small bones to large long bones and pelvic/iliosacral joints. Benefit is stabilization of fractures/osteotomies to facilitate healing. No electronic or software components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including mechanical testing (torsional, axial pullout, driving torque) per ASTM F543, and cadaver evaluation.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Ti-6Al-4V alloy per ASTM F136. Design: Cannulated bone screws and washers. Mechanical testing: ASTM F543 (torsional, axial pullout, driving torque). No software, electronics, or energy sources.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation of small bones (foot, patella, ankle, wrist, elbow), long bones, and bone fragments; arthrodesis of foot, wrist, elbow, and subtalar joint; osteotomies; and specific orthopedic conditions including slipped capital femoral epiphysis, pediatric femoral neck fractures, tibial plateau fractures, SI joint disruptions, intercondylar femur fractures, Jones fractures, and calcaneal fractures.
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.

Biomet Cannulated Screw System Proprietary Name:
Common Name: Screw, Fixation, Bone
Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener. (21 CFR § Classification Name: 888.3040/HWC)
Predicate Devices: Biomet's Cannulated Screw System is substantially equivalent to currently marketed BioDrive Cannulated Screw System (K082874), DePuy/Ace 8.0mm Cannulated Cancellous Bone Screw (K926047), DePuy/Ace Cannulated Self Tapping Cancellous Bone Screw (K903810), Ace/DePuy Ace Cancellous Bone Screw (K872859), Synthes Sterile 4.5mm Cannulated Screws (K963172), Synthes Sterile 3.5mm and 4.0mm Cannulated Screws (K963192), Synthes 6.5mm Cannulated Screw (K021932), Synthes 7.3mm Cannulated Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Screws (K092909).
Device Description: The Biomet Cannulated Screw System consists of bone screws, associated washers, which are manufactured from Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium (Ti-6AL-4V), and corresponding instruments are used to aid in the alignment and stabilization of fractures to the skeletal system.

## Indications for Use:
## Small Cannulated Screws (4.0mm and smaller diameter) are intended for use in:
1. Fixation of small bones, including those in the foot, patella, ankle, wrist and elbow.
2. Arthrodesis of the foot, wrist and elbow.
3. Small and long bone osteotomies.
4. Fracture fixation of small bones, small bone fragments and long bones.
### Large Cannulated Screws (5mm and larger in diameter) are intended for use in:
- 1. Fixation of fractures in long bones and long bone fragments.
- 2. Long bone osteotomies (femur, tibia, foot, ankle, olecranon).
- Arthrodesis- and fracture fixation of the foot and ankle, such as 3. Jones fractures of the fifth metatarsal, and Calcaneal fractures.
## Large Cannulated Screws (6.5mm and larger in diameter) are intended for use in:
- 1. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- 2. Pediatric femoral neck fractures
- Tibial plateau fractures 3.
- 4. SI joint disruptions
- 5. Intercondylar femur fractures
- Subtalar arthrodesis 6.
- 7. Fixation of pelvis and iliosacral joint.
The technological characteristics of the Biomet Cannulated Screw System are similar to the predicate devices including design, dimensions, and material. The Biomet Cannulated Screw System screws and washers are fabricated from Ti-6Al-4V alloy per ASTM F136. Ti-6Al-4V alloy is a commonly used material in orthopedic implants, and is a material that was used in predicate devices cleared in K082874, K903810, K926047, and K872859.
The Biomet Cannulated Screw System is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices. No new issues of safety or efficacy have been raised.
Non-clinical performance testing included cadaver evaluation and MRI justification. Mechanical tests per ASTM F543 that were performed to determine substantial equivalence of the Biomet Cannulated Screws including torsional, axial pullout and driving torque. Results indicate that the subject screws are substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices offering a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
