The Synthes 3.5mm Low Profile Cortical Screws are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, hand, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia, femur, fibula, and foot in adults, and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by the screw fixation. The Synthes 3.5mm Cortex Screws are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a platescrew system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, hand, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia, and foot in adults, and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by the screw fixation. ## Device Story System comprises metallic bone plates and various screw types (cortical, locking, variable angle, cannulated, etc.) for internal fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Plates provide structural stabilization to bone fragments; variable angle locking technology allows surgeon-defined screw trajectory relative to plate. Benefits include stabilization of small bone fractures and support for osteopenic bone. System is a passive mechanical implant; no electronic or software components. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only; fatigue strength testing and engineering analyses performed to verify mechanical performance. ## Technological Characteristics Metallic bone fixation system; materials include Stainless Steel, Commercially Pure Titanium-Grade 4, and Titanium Alloy (TAN). Low-profile plate design; variable angle locking mechanism. Passive mechanical device; 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. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes Cortical Screws ([K112583](/device/K112583.md)) - Synthes 3.5mm Low Profile Cortical Screws ([K111230](/device/K111230.md)) - Arthrex Low Profile Screws ([K103705](/device/K103705.md)) - Synthes Locking Calcaneal Plates ([K991407](/device/K991407.md)) - Synthes 2.4/2.7 VA LCP Forefoot/Midfoot System ([K100776](/device/K100776.md)) - Synthes 2.4mm/2.7mm Locking Talus Plate ([K071264](/device/K071264.md)) - Stryker Foot Plating System ([K063875](/device/K063875.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

ankle in adults and adolescents (12-21) in which the growth plates have fused or
in which the growth plates will not be crossed by the plate system. The complete
system includes the following plate types: | |------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Device
Description: | • 2.4mm/2.7mm Variable Angle Locking Talus Plate
• 2.7mm Variable Angle Locking Calcaneal Plate
• 2.7mm Variable Angle Locking Anterolateral Calcaneal Plate
• 3.5mm Variable Angle Locking Compression Medial Column Fusion
Plate | | | The system accepts various screw fixation options such as existing cortical,
locking, variable angle locking, low profile, cannulated locking, cannulated
conical and metaphyseal screws. The plates are low profile in design and offered
in variations of Stainless Steel, Commercially Pure Titanium-Grade 4, and

indications apply to the entire construct, including the screws. | | Intended Use | | The Synthes 2.7mm and 3.5mm Variable Angle LCP Midfoot/Hindfoot System is indicated for fixation i of osteotomies, fusions, fractures, nonunions and replantations of small bones and small bone fragments in adult and adolescent (12 -21 years) patients, including the foot and ankle, and particularly in osteopenic bone. The Synthes 3.5mm Low Profile Cortical Screws and the Synthes 3.5mm Cortex Screws are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon. humerus, hand, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia, femur, fibula, and foot in adults, and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by the screw fixation. ### Substantial Equivalence Both the Synthes 2.7mm and 3.5mm Variable Angle LCP MidfootHindfoot System and predicate systems have similar indications, design characteristics, and performance characteristics. Fatigue strength testing, as well as engineering analyses were completed for the plates included in the Synthes 2.7mm and 3.5mm Variable Angle LCP Midfoot/Hindfoot System, demonstrating equal to or greater strength in comparison to the predicate devices and constructs. The subject Synthes 3.5mm Low Profile Cortex and Synthes 3.5mm Cortex Screws share the same indications for use, product technology. and design characteristics. No design changes have been made to the Synthes 3.5mm Cortex and 3.5mm Low Profile cortex screws. No new questions of safety and efficacy are raised as a result of the expanded indications statements. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
