## Indications for Use

The AxSOS™ Locking Plate System is intended for use in long bone fracture fixation. The system is indicated for fixation of long bone fractures including but not limited to fractures of the humerus, tibia and femur.

## Device Story

AxSOS™ Distal Lateral Femur TS Long Plates are metallic bone fixation implants; line extension of existing AxSOS™ Locking Plate System. Device consists of monoaxial plates used for internal fixation of long bone fractures. Plates are surgically implanted by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize fractures; provide mechanical support during bone healing. Device is a passive implant; no electronic or software components. Substantial equivalence established via comparison to predicate; non-clinical testing included static and fatigue strength evaluation per ISO 14971 risk management standards.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Static and fatigue strength testing performed to demonstrate mechanical equivalence to predicate devices. Risk analysis conducted per ISO 14971:2007.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation plate; stainless steel construction; monoaxial design; available in two lengths (18-20 hole configurations); intended for internal surgical fixation; passive implant; no energy source or software.

## 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.

#### Description

This Special 510(k) submission is a line extension to address modifications made to the AxSOS™ Locking Plate System which was cleared in K061012. This line extension is to add four femoral long plates to the existing size range of the AxSOS™ Locking Plate System. These monoaxial long plates will be known as AxSOS™ Distal Lateral Femur TS (Threaded Shaft) Long Plates and will be available in two lengths in left and right configurations.

### Intended Use

The AxSOS™ Distal Lateral Femur TS Long Plates line extension does not alter the intended use of the predicate AxSOS™ Locking Plate System as cleared in K061012. The indications for use for the subject plates are provided below.

#### Indications

The AxSOS™ Locking Plate System is intended for use in long bone fracture fixation. The system is indicated for fixation of long bone fractures including but not limited to fractures of the humerus, tibia and femur.

{1}------------------------------------------------

# Substantial Equivalence:

The AxSOS™ Distal Lateral Femur TS Long Plates are substantially equivalent to the AxSOS™ · Distal Lateral Femur TS Plates of the AxSOS™ Locking Plate System cleared under K061012 in regards to intended use, design, materials, and operational principles as a bone fixation device.
