Intended Use
The Shotel Ankle Arthrodesis Nail System is intended for the following: - Charcot Foot - Avascular necrosis of the talus - Failed total ankle arthroplasty - Trauma (malunited tibial pilon fracture) - Severe deformity or instability as a result of talipes equinoivarus, cerebral vascular accident, paralysis or other neuromuscular disease - Revision ankle arthrodesis - Neuroarthropathy - Rheumatoid arthritis - Osteoarthritis - Pseudoarthrosis - Post-Traumatic arthrosis - Previously infected arthrosis - Severe end stage degenerative arthritis - Severe defects after tumor resection - Pantalar arthrodesis
Device Story
Implantable intramedullary fusion nail system; includes curved fusion nails, bone screws, and nail caps. Used for primary ankle fusion; surgeon-operated in clinical setting. Nail features 6 screw holes for fixation; 4 distal cross-locking holes allow static or dynamic orientation. Components manufactured from titanium Ti-6Al-4V; single-use. Surgeon selects nail diameter and screw length to achieve bone fixation; nail caps allow length adjustment. Provides mechanical stability to facilitate bone fusion; benefits patient by correcting deformity and stabilizing joint.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included primary stiffness, fusion-site compression, primary bending stiffness, and mechanical/fatigue testing per ASTM F1264. Pyrogen testing confirmed implants meet the 20 EU/device limit.
Technological Characteristics
Intramedullary fixation rod system. Materials: Titanium Ti-6Al-4V. Principle: Mechanical bone fixation via intramedullary nail and cross-locking screws. Form factor: Curved nail with 6 screw holes, 5mm diameter screws, and adjustable nail caps. Sterilization: Offered sterile and non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring ankle fusion due to Charcot foot, avascular necrosis of the talus, failed total ankle arthroplasty, trauma (malunited tibial pilon fracture), severe deformity/instability (talipes equinoivarus, CVA, paralysis, neuromuscular disease), revision ankle arthrodesis, neuroarthropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, pseudoarthrosis, post-traumatic arthrosis, previously infected arthrosis, severe end-stage degenerative arthritis, severe defects after tumor resection, or pantalar arthrodesis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

## Product Description
The Shotel Ankle Arthrodesis Nail System is an implantable intramedullary system of fusion nails, bone screws, a nail cap and a set of instruments for primary ankle fusion. The curved fusion nail has 6 screw holes that can accommodate up to 6 bone screws and is available in seven (7) diameters in two configurations, left and right. The four (4) distal cross locking holes provide the surgeon with either a static or dynamic cross locking hole in alternative 90 degree orientation configurations. The 5mm fixation bone screws are offered in 27 lengths and the nail caps are available in two configurations; standard nail cap length and a plus 5 mm nail cap length affording the surgeon the ability to slightly adjust the final nail assembly length. All three implant components are manufactured from titanium Ti-6Al-4V and are single use only. Components are offered sterile and non-sterile.

## Performance Data
All necessary testing has been performed with the Shotel Ankle Arthrodesis Nail System to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Testing included primary stiffness, fusion-site compression, primary bending stiffness and mechanical and fatigue testing in accordance with ASTM F1264. Pyrogen testing was performed on the subject implants and it was confirmed that the implants meet the 20 EU/device testing limit.
## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Upon reviewing the technical information provided in this submission and comparing intended use, principle of operation, performance data, and overall technological characteristics, the Shotel Ankle Arthrodesis Nail System is determined to be substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed devices.
