Intended Use

Pediatric Osteotomy Plates are indicated for fixation of intertrochanteric osteotomies for treating congenital or traumatic deformities in children.

Device Story

Pediatric Osteotomy Plates are metallic bone fixation devices used in orthopedic surgery. Plates are surgically implanted to stabilize bone segments following intertrochanteric osteotomy procedures. Device is used in clinical settings by surgeons. Plates are affixed to bone using standard stainless steel bone screws. System includes specialized manual instrumentation: plate driver/extractors, chisels, goniometer guides, impactors, slide hammers, clamps, and guide wires. By providing rigid fixation, the plates facilitate bone healing and correction of congenital or traumatic deformities in pediatric patients.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed from surgical implant grade 316LVM stainless steel conforming to ASTM F-138. Form factor consists of plates sized for infants, children, and adolescents. Fixation achieved via bone screws. Manual instrumentation provided for implantation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of intertrochanteric osteotomies to treat congenital or traumatic deformities in pediatric patients (infants, children, and adolescents).

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.
