## Intended Use

The Mini MaxLock Extreme® Plating System is intended to stabilize and aid in the repair of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies for small bones and bone fragments.

## Device Story

The Mini MaxLock Extreme® Plating System consists of metallic bone fixation plates and screws used by surgeons to stabilize small bone fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. The system is a modification of an existing device, adding new plate styles to the product line. It functions as a mechanical fixation appliance to provide structural support during bone healing. The device is intended for clinical use by physicians in an orthopedic setting. No software or electronic components are involved.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data was provided. Substantial equivalence was established through finite element analysis and mechanical strength calculations.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy and PEEK. Device type: Metallic bone fixation plates and screws. Form factor: Small bone fixation system. No software, energy source, or connectivity features.

## 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.

The submission is a modification to the Mini MaxLock Extreme® Plating System to add additional plate styles. No modifications were made to the existing plates or screws

The Mini MaxLock Extreme® Plating System is intended to stabilize and aid in the repair of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies for small bones and bone fragments.

The new Mini MaxLock Extreme® Plating System is substantially equivalent to the existing OrthoHelix Mini MaxLock Extreme® Plating System (K120157). Calculations and finite element analysis comparing the strength of the subject and predicate devices were performed and the results support substantial equivalence. Due to similarities in indications, design, and materials, no other testing was required. No new issues of safety and effectiveness have been raised.
