Regulatory Classification
Identification
Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

TMC Compression Implant System Special 510(k) Premarket Notification
The changes described within this submission do not impact reprocessing, sterility, shelf-life, and biocompatibility considerations in comparison to the predicate device. The software, cybersecurity, EMC, and wireless technology sections are not applicable to the subject device.
The added locking bone screw options to the TMC Compression Implant System were previously cleared under the TMC Plating System.
## Indications for Use:
The system is intended to be used for fracture fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the foot and ankle.
## Substantial Equivalence:
The subject TMC Compression Implant System is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:
- Primary Predicate: TMC Compression Implant System (K232387, S.E. 08/28/2023) ●
- . Additional Predicate: TMC Plating System (K240173, S.E. 02/22/2024)
- Additional Predicate: Restore Bunion Correction System (K131061, S.E. 08/28/2013) .
The subject compression implants are intended to be used for fracture fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the foot and ankle, identical or similar to the predicate devices. Additionally, the subject compression implants are manufactured using wrought titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V-ELI per ASTM F136 and Type II anodized identical to the primary and TMC Plating System additional predicate devices.
The subject device modifications includes the introduction of additional four (4) tine staples and associated instrumentation for implantation to the TMC Compression Implant System. These added compression implants have the capability to accept TMC locking screws for further fixation. Additional modifications include updates to the bridge geometry, tine profile, and tine locations (4 tine staple only). The 2x1 staple design remains unchanged.
The subject devices share similar materials, geometry, construction, packaging, overall design, and performance with the predicate devices. Thus, it can be concluded that the subject devices do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness and are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
## Performance Testing:
A mechanical analysis per ASTM F564-17 Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Bone Staples was used to evaluate the dynamic fatigue strength of the subject staples using a four-point bending test (Annex A1) and pull-out strength (Annex A2) to the previously tested primary predicate devices. The analysis demonstrated that the subject devices met all acceptance criteria and therefore are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate devices. The added screw options to the TMC Compression Implant System were previously evaluated per ASTM F543-17.
