Intended Use

The RODEO Telescopic Nail is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions in femur and tibia in pediatric patients suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta.

Device Story

RODEO Telescopic Nail is a self-extending intramedullary rod for bone fixation in pediatric patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. Device consists of two telescoping components (male and female) and bone anchors (cap or epiphyseal pin). Components move axially and rotationally to accommodate patient growth. Used in orthopedic surgery; implanted by physicians. Provides internal stabilization for long bones (femur, tibia) to manage fractures and deformities. Benefits include support for bone healing while allowing for natural growth. Application and removal utilize standard orthopedic instrumentation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F1264-16, including 4-point bending (stiffness, yield strength), fatigue testing (1,000,000 cycles), welding torque resistance, cap retention, and push-out testing. Subject device performance compared to predicate and reference devices; results confirmed equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Telescopic intramedullary nail; AISI 316LVM stainless steel (ASTM F138, ISO 5832-1). Available in 5 diameters (3.5-6.0mm) and multiple lengths. Fixation via proximal/distal anchors and bi-cortical threaded cross pin. Sterile and non-sterile versions; radiation sterilization. Mechanical design follows ASTM F1264-16.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions of the femur and tibia in pediatric patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.

The nail includes the telescopic rod, which consists of two parts (male and female) and bone anchors, which could be either a cap or an epiphyseal screw suitable to the anatomical application. The nail is provided in sterile and non-sterile version and is available in five diameters (3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm and 6.0mm), identified by the outer diameter of the female part of the rod, and five lengths for each diameter model (from 100 mm up to 350 mm). Application and removal are performed with Orthofix general orthopedic instrumentation. The subject RODEOTM Telescopic Nail consists of three different components which are intended to be assembled to form the implant: Male component - A solid shaft with a built-in bone anchor for bone connection; the bone anchor has the same design as the cap (described below).Female component - A hollow shaft designed to host the male component.Bone anchors - Two options are available depending on the desired application: Cap - A self-locking screw to be connected with the female component at the opposite aspect of the extremity relative to the male component.Epiphyseal Pin - A threaded pin to be inserted into the distal extremity hole to hold the female component in position and prevent migration (see Figure 3) When the male and female components are assembled, the resulting implant is a telescopic rod. Male and female components are free to move both axially and rotationally; this allows the nail to extend axially as the patient growth occurs while allowing rotation around the bone anchors. The subject implants are made from AISI 316LVM stainless steel, conforming to ASTM F138 and ISO 5832-1. | |---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Indications for use | The RODEO Telescopic Nail is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions in femur and tibia in pediatric patients suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta. | () Orthofix Srl | Via delle Nazioni, 9 | 37012 Bussolengo (VR) Italy \ \ +39 045 6719380   冊 orthofix.com DIREZIONE E COORDINAMENTO: Orthofix Medical Inc.

Push-out testing (ability of cap to grip bone under axial push-out from a sawbone) was also conducted on both subject and predicate devices. Torsion properties, driving torque, pullout properties and bending of the subject epiphysial pin were compared against a reference device (quide wire, 510(k) clearance K132893) which fulfills all specification requirements called out in the operative technique of the primary predicate device. The performance of the nails were compared and the results are in line with the defined targets. Furthermore, additional static and dynamic testing was conducted on the worst case (smallest diameter) fully-assembled subject and predicate devices as per ASTM F1264-16. This same testing was also conducted on the largest diameter fully-assembled subject and predicate devices. As is reflected by the testing, the subject device results were equivalent or better than those of the comparable predicate device. | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Conclusion | Based upon equivalences in: intended use, operating principles, and the non-clinical performance data, the subject RODEO Telescopic Nail has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device. | () Orthofix Srl | Via delle Nazioni, 9 | 37012 Bussolengo (VR) Italy ↑ 2 +39 045 6719380   冊 orthofix.com DIREZIONE E COORDINAMENTO: Orthofix Medical Inc.
