## Intended Use

The Synthes Locking Distal Radius Plating System is intended for fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones.

## Device Story

The Synthes Locking Distal Radius Plating System consists of machined metallic plates and screws designed for internal fixation of bone fractures. The system provides a locking mechanism between the screw and the plate to enhance stability. It is intended for use by surgeons in an operating room setting to treat complex intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones. The device is implanted to provide rigid fixation, facilitating bone healing and restoring anatomical alignment. It serves as a mechanical support system for orthopedic procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

bench testing only

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel or titanium plates and screws. Design: Machined metallic plates with screw-to-plate locking mechanism. Energy source: None (mechanical device). Sterilization: Not specified.

## Regulatory 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.
