## Intended Use

The Aesculap Implant Systems High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Plating System is intended to be used in conjunction with bone screws to provide fixation following Proximal Tibial opening wedge osteotomies.

## Device Story

The HTO Plating System is a metallic bone fixation device used by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting. It consists of a tapered plate, spacer blocks, and cancellous/cortical bone screws. The system provides mechanical stabilization of the tibia following an opening wedge osteotomy procedure. The surgeon implants the device to maintain bone alignment during the healing process, facilitating bone union. The device is provided sterile.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium/Titanium Alloy. Components: Tapered plate, spacer blocks, 6 mm cancellous screws, 4.5 mm cortical screws. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Mechanical fixation principle.

## 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.

# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

REGULATION NUMBER: 888.3030 / 888.3040

Aesculap Implant Systems, Inc., believes that the HTO Plating System is substantially equivalent to the Arthrex Puddu Osteotomy System (K973812).

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Aesculap Implant Systems High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Plating System which consists of a single tapered plate, screws (cancellous and cortical design), and spacer blocks in various sizes. The plate in this system accepts 6 mm cancellous screws proximally and 4.5 mm cortical screw distally. The Aesculap Implant Systems High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Plating System is manufactured from Titanium/Titanium Alloy and will be provided sterile.

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Aesculap Implant Systems High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Plating System is intended to be used in conjunction with bone screws to provide fixation following Proximal Tibial opening wedge osteotomies.

## TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS(compared to Predicate(s))

The Aesculap Implant Systems HTO Plating System is considered substantially equivalent to other legally marketed predicate systems. Biomechanical testing of the subject device was found to be similar in performance to previously cleared high tibial osteotomy systems with similar indications.
