Intended Use
The Additive Orthopaedics Hammertoe Correction System is indicated for fixation of fractures, and fusion of small bones in the foot and hand; where such fragments are not under tension or load-bearing.
Device Story
The Additive Orthopaedics Hammertoe Correction System is a monoblock, non-circular shaft implant designed for hammertoe correction. It features barbs along its longitudinal axis to facilitate fixation and is available in both cannulated and non-cannulated versions with 0° and 10° configurations. The device is additively manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). It is provided in a sterile procedure pack along with a dedicated drill for site preparation. The system is intended for single-use by surgeons in a clinical setting to stabilize small bone fractures or fusions in the hand or foot. By providing mechanical fixation, the implant promotes bone fusion and corrects deformities, benefiting patients by restoring structural integrity to small bones.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing was performed according to recognized standards, including pull-out force, static flexion-extension resistance, and dynamic flexion-extension resistance.
Technological Characteristics
Monoblock, non-circular shaft implant; cannulated and non-cannulated options; barbs along longitudinal axis; 0° and 10° configurations. Material: Medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation of fractures and fusion of small bones in the foot and hand in patients where fragments are not under tension or load-bearing.
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.

Dear Mr. Kowalczyk:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
